Add festive varsity style to a Christmas stocking with this appliqué design, centred on a bold capital A and finished with a folded cuff and hanging loop. The red stocking, white cuff and dark outline give it a clean, collegiate look, while touches of beige, blue, gold and maroon add extra richness without making it fussy. It suits anyone stitching for a recipient with an A initial, or for Christmas decorating that leans a little more graphic than traditional.
With 8 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough substance to look polished on medium-weight fabrics while still keeping the appliqué style clear and crisp. Stitch it on a family stocking, a festive sweatshirt, a Santa sack or the front of a gift bag where the letter can do the personalising for you. The range of sizes makes it easy to use the same design for anything from a small accent on a child’s top to a larger feature on holiday home décor.
