Christmas Stockings for Dogs and Other Pets

ChunkiChilli represents a knitting community in a remote and rural part of Southwest China, and all of the stockings are knitted there. When we first launched the community, the knitters were mostly Mums knitting while their children were at school. They are now mostly Grannies, multi-tasking knitting and looking after their grandchildren.

We often get asked why we do not offer to embroider names straight onto our stockings. Our answer is that most of the embroidery that you see is done with a machine, but it is impossible to machine-embroider hand-knitted stockings of this high quality. We would love to hand-embroider each stocking, but we don’t have the time.

However, if you would like to hand-embroider your own stocking, please let us know and we will include some matching yarn in the package, so that you can.
