The dolls and toys for the stocking definitely can be crocheted or knit. I know Bev always has great patterns, I keep forgetting to check and see what she new ones she has added. Another site with some cute items is a new one I just found.
They have a number of charity patterns including hats, blankets and toys. I fell in love with the sewn flannel dolls and I am going to try to make a few from the scraps of flannel I have in my stash. I think I am going to reduce the pattern a little since it makes a 14 inch doll.
Hope you have a great weekend.
