Xena arrived 16 days after her due date (11/29). Although I (finally) started going into labor naturally at home on 12/12, I was induced on 12/13 and she was born just after midnight on 12/14. I started making us stockings on 12/12 and due to her arrival date, I was unable to finish this project by X-Mas. So far I've finished 2 and I have 1 more to go so we have a total of 3 for Xena, Mom and Dad. Better luck next year!
Start in a round of 12 DC's to create your foundation circle.
Alternate X-mas colors in a granny hexagon.
On the final row, SC around the edge of each medallion.
Assemble the medallions like honeycombs in a hive to create your stocking.
I double crocheted a few rows on the top of my stocking, then DC-ed a hook on the edge and simply embroidered Xena's name on the side with a darning needle.
Xena's such a tiny little newborn in this photo!
I also crocheted matching ornaments.
Progress on the 2nd stocking. I'll photograph all 3 together once I've finished the last one.
