These dolls house scale miniature Christmas stocking can be used for scale scenes, or you can stitch these for tiny package trims or Christmas tree decorations for your holiday celebrations. The basic stitch chart is designed for a needlepoint beginner, using a simple range of colors and easy to count sections which can be adjusted for endless color ways.

Instead of the simple white background shown, use a dark blue to form a sky above your cabins, showing off the stars. Use solid colors to back the holly or reindeer designs. Make a collection of different designs by using different background colors, or change the colors of the cabins to suit the colors of your Christmas display.

If you prefer, you can make your own simple charted designs and use the instructions that follow to assemble your stitched design into miniature Christmas stockings.
