❄️ Candy cane swirls for the mantel

The Coppola Candy Cane Stocking is a whimsical Christmas stocking finished with guided surface stitching. I’m not going to let you do those swirls blind! Chain 1 spaces show you exactly where to go, so have no fear.

It’s part of the matching Coppola set, and it looks right at home next to the hat, mittens and scarf.
