Looking at this stocking will make you smile because of all the colorful motifs.
It looks like a lot of fun to stitch.
Some of the ribbons and threads have been separated and put on an organizer. See photos.
Embroidery stitches include cross, French knots, straight, stem, and backstitches.
Ribbon stitches include lazy daisy, French knots, spider web rose, stem, straight, Japanese ribbon, cross, whipped running, fishbone, loop flower, looped petal, fern, and decorative lazy daisy.
The stitch diagrams are very detailed.
Some (but very little) of the embroidery stitching (cross stitch and some backstitching) has been started on the Merry Christmas band. See photos of front and back.
None of the ribbon embroidery has been done.
