Santa Claus Pictures 1

Santa rides in his sleigh above the treetops. His fuzzy bag of toys is tied with a green ribbon.  See Reindeer Pictures 1 for a look at the reindeer pulling the sleigh.

This is a variation of a very old pattern. The white section of the foot has the last two digits of the recipient's birth date. The drawstring with pompoms is an unusual and very nice addition.

This Santa face is so large that it wraps around the stocking almost from edge to edge. Fortunately, I was asked to knit 2 of them. That way I could get a photo showing the whole face!

A customer sent me the stocking on the right to duplicate. She wanted to add the embellishments herself, so I just did the knitting. The hanging loop uses a small plastic ring as its base to give it shape.

This stocking has more stitches than usual to accommodate the larger pictures. In the original, Santa has green eyes. The red background and outline-style hat are unusual, and very effective.

The same design, but on a green background. This has an interesting and unusual effect. The recipient's initials are added on this side, and the birth date on the the reverse.

This unusual design has Santa walking a dog off to his right side. See Different Pictures 1 for a view of the fluffy dog.

This unusual design has a reindeer peering over Santa's shoulder while Santa checks his list twice. The design wraps all the way around the stocking.

A back view shows that the reindeer is right behind Santa's elbow. It almost looks as though Santa is trying not to let the reindeer see the list!
