Thank you... yep, it’s pretty big! His Mom and Dad (and their dog) have matching ones too.
When i first made the pattern i struggled with whether i should have made a more defined “arch” between the heel and the foot of the stocking. I experimented with it a couple of ways but decided i would leave the arch a little more to the imagination because i didnt like how the stocking looked when filled if i narrowed that area. And so... this is the stocking everybody in my family gets. The front is quilt as you go so it goes together pretty quickly!

Thank you! Blake was born December 28 - he will be 2 right after Christmas! My husband and i are in our early 60’s and Blake is our first (and maybe only) grandchild and is a little miracle because his parents have wished, prayed and hoped for this little guy for years. He is at such a fun age now - just wait until your granddaughter’s first Christmas! It is such a blessing to experience life through the eyes of a little child again! Congratulations to you, Nana! Is this your first grandchild?
