Donna Kooler's Stocking Collection, Second Edition

The 14 designs are delightful for children and adults and I love them all except one - the Nutcracker could be a bit frightening for children. There are designs for children and adults covering Snowmen, Angels, children, delightful little mice building a gingerbread house, a sleigh ride and lots of Santas in exquisite detail. Each has a space for the recipients name and different alphabet charts for each stocking. Every one would become a family heirloom to be brought out every Christmas. Instructions for making up are for a confident crossstitcher. Beautiful.

This is a must for anyone wanting to cross stitch Christmas stockings. Charts are easy to follow and the colour combinations a joy to work. I bought it to do a stocking for our younger grandson in USA but have now been comissioned to do more for two of our other grandchildren. I am just starting the second one and looking forward to doing the third. I have adapted slightly by using half stitches in some areas. Highly recommended.

Lovely paperback book with an abundance of really nice clear patterns, - something for everybody. Several of the patterns are fairly complicated and would not be suitable for a beginner, There are good instructions on how to complete the stockings too. Would recommend.

Good selection of stocking designs suitable for all ages. Fourteen designs in all and all but one in 14 count (one in 18 count that personally I find too small). Clear symbols to follow. As pattern spreads over 4 pages, I photocopied them and taped them together as I found it impossible to follow straight from the book.Enjoy!

A good selection of patterns to make your cross stitch christmas stockings. I have also bought another by this author

Another lovely Donna Kooler book with loads of designs that need not go on a Christmas stocking.

good product great service

Love the book. Well worth the money. The different styles suit children and adults alike. Easy to follow. just wish I had more time on my hands!

Amazing collection - love it and can’t wait to do a couple of them. If you love cross stitch and want to do a Christmas stocking this is one of the two books to get if you don’t find a kit you like

E' stato un acquisto sicuro, tutti i libri della Kooler Design sono ben fatti. Gli schemi hanno sia colori che simboli, sono molto chiari e i disegni sono uno più bello dell'altro. Sono molto soddisfatta.

表紙、裏表紙に掲載されている以外にも、何点か載っていました。どれも可愛らしく、チャートもわかりやすいと思います。

... wenn man diese Vorlagen sieht - dann kommt auch im Sommer ein leichtes Weihnachtsfeeling auf. Wunderbare Motive und leicht verständliche Vorlagen .....

I adore Christmas stockings, I make them as wedding and new baby gifts. They are greatly appreciated and remind the recipient of someone who loves them dearly. This is an awesome collection of stockings by Donna Kooler, the book is well written and the charts are very easy to use, even with my old eyes! My only complaint is that all the stockings face right, they are not the traditional left facing stocking. That is easily overcome by taking the chart to a printer and having him/her make a reverse copy for you. Not such a big deal as I always make a working copy so as not to ruin my original chart or book, it's just an inconvenience going to the printer as I usually make my copies at home.
