Decorative Doggie Stocking
Let your pooch have some fun on Christmas morning with this Decorative Doggie Stocking. If you look closely, the picture even has this crochet Christmas stocking hanging by a leash. How fun is that? You can use different colors if you want, but I think the green and red really make this crochet Christmas stocking stick out in a nice, festive way. You'll have your pet in on all the Christmas day action, especially by having a reason to give them some new treats, food, or other accessories. Work up this super fun stocking pattern for a new addition to the mantle this year.
