Santa Claus Pictures 4

I have seen this stocking with the Santa more heavily embellished. This version has embroidered facial features, gold thread for his belt buckle, and a jingle bell on his hat.

It surprised me to see how much the appearance changed with extra white in the background.  The picture itself is nearly identical.

I thought this customer had a very clever idea, to put the name on the stocking that Santa was actually hanging! Of course, only a very short name could be used this way.

This is wonderful old design, representing Santa as an old-fashioned jack-in-the-box toy.  The original pattern included a white tree with red ornaments on the back side.

This cheerful Santa Claus picture is from a pattern provided by the customer. The only embellishment on this stocking is some gold metallic thread on his belt buckle.

Added embellishments change Santa's look. Here, he has sequins on his eyes and nose, a pompom on his hat, and a candy cane in his hand. Snowflake sequins sparkle behind him.

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.

Santa faces are just as popular as full figures. This simple design is very effective.

This is a very popular design, although Santa's eyes are usually black and most families don't have the birth date on there.
