Oh dear. I take it the person who originally made them doesn't have any extra? I don't recognize it at all.
On another note, I think it's fabulous that everyone gets matching stockings. My husband's family has a tradition of knitted red stockings with a snowman design, and the person's name at the top. However, you DON'T get a stocking if you weren't born into the family. So, my husband and 2 kids have a stocking, but I don't. My husband's sister and her two kids have a stocking, but her husband doesn't. I think it's kind of mean to exclude family members just because they're not related by blood. So I started a new tradition and made quilted stockings. Ha.

Oh my! What a dilemma!! If it were MY stockings, I would either (1) get a whole new set of stockings if I wanted them all to "match"; or (2) find similar fabrics in design and colors and make the two additions with those new fabncs. But if the person has her own ideas about matching, and the fabric cannot be found, it would be impossible to please her. Perhaps give her ideas for alternatives. good luck!

I have no idea about the pattern -- I have something similar in a completely different colorway that I used in a quilt. You can probably find something in the same color way but a different pattern -- so I would ask if that is alright.
