I have been finishing knitting for local knit shops for many years. People would bring in Christmas Stockings that had been made for them by a relative in the past, and stored them in the attic. The Angora beard would usually be the first thing to be eaten by moths or mice. I had to reconstruct the pattern for this design. You can use it to make anything for the holidays. Have fun! Be creative!! You don’t have to use Angora for the beard if you don’t want to. Susan
