Cute holiday stockings made from recycled old sweaters. Now thats a good way to reuse all those sweaters from the 1980s! No two stockings are the same pattern, but all of them come from wooly and they all have a white cuffed top. Each has and extra front little pocket.

Only problem is that they are $69. You should at least get the set of 3 instead of just 1.
