Kelly Fltcher at Jolly Red tells: 'Puppies' is a really sweet Christmas Stocking to stitch for a boy, a girl, Mum, Dad - anyone at all, or even your favourite four legged friend. Lots of recognisable dog breeds, and Flik makes an appearance to the left of the snowman - or is it a snowdog? I forget!

Centre stage as always is Santa, only this time we present one of the Queen's corgis dressed as Santa and turning up for Panto rehearsal when he should have been at some wedding or other at the end of April. Never mind, I'm sure he wasn't missed.

Puppies has been designed in quite strong colours to appeal to adults as well as children. We made ours up in navy with a red lining, but purple would look good, as would red or green. And why not go for a bright turquoise lining?
