❄️ The gift card, but make it cozy

The giving season is here, and I love giving handmade gifts. Most people love gift cards, so I wanted to add a personal touch with a tiny crochet stocking to tuck one into.

Once I made the mini, a full size stocking to match just felt right, so both patterns are included. A fuzzy faux fur cuff and an embroidered tree finish them off.
