LDS Missionary Stocking

Image
I've designed a custom stocking just for my friend's son who is serving an LDS mission in Houston, TX. I increased the size of the stocking by about 1/3, so my friend will have plenty of room to send goodies to her son. I made the stocking to represent a male missionary and because my friend wanted me to personalize the stocking, I personalized the tie to the state he is serving in (Texas), and embroidered his name on the name tag. I am really excited about the way it turned out! (I blacked out the Elder's name on the tag that's why the tag looks a little messy...)

I'm excited to introduce my original character stocking series...  Prince Charming  Elsa from Frozen  Anna from Frozen  Wheezy the Penguin from Toy Story also represents my son's favorite operating system Linux  Alice in Wonderland  Belle from Beauty and the Beast Ariel from The Little Mermaid I started off making these stockings by using Red Heart's free basic stocking pattern which you can find by clicking here . I did change all the double crochet in the pattern to half double crochet for tighter stitches. I did color changes and embellishments according to character. I did not write everything I did down, but wanted to share my work. I used the crocodile stitch on the bottom of the mermaid stocking and it was quite tricky to do because of how I had to assemble it but I think it turned out fantastic! If you have any questions about my work, leave me a comment.

Personalized Crocheted Pony

My little girl's own customized pony! She picked out the colors she wanted and the cutie mark and I crocheted it for her. I had a lot of fun making this one. The macrame took forever though! Best of all, the pattern for this one is free and you can find it here .
