USING STITCH DICTIONARIES
The snowflake stitch pattern on the stocking comes from this pattern on Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/christmas-snowflakes-stocking
I *think* this is the font I used to create the text on the stocking: https://www.allfreecrafts.com/sewing/needlework/times-new-roman-cross-stitch-chart/
