Christmas Cat in a Stocking — Crochet Pattern (PDF)
A sleepy grey tabby kitten snuggles inside a cherry-red Christmas stocking, paws draped over the snowy white cuff, with a sprig of holly and red berries for extra cheer. The stocking has a flat base so it stands on a shelf, and a hanging loop so it can go on the tree. Tabby stripes, closed smiling eyes and a pink nose are simply embroidered — no safety eyes needed.
