Santa Stocking

[debpauly]

Good Morning, I am looking for a pattern of a christmas stocking my mom made for me in the 1950"s. It has a a red stripe on the top. The name is also around the top within white. The middle is a Santa knitted with angora yarn within green. Below that within white are two crossed candy canes. The toe is green with a red stripe around it. There is also a bell sewn on it. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I would love to carry on the tradition and make one for my son. Thank you. Deb

Finding an old pattern like that is kind of like looking for a needle in haystack. Here's some links. You may find the right one or maybe one you can adapt to what you want.

And here's some Santa and alphabet charts if you find one you can adapt.
