It’s official! Caron yarn has set the Guinness World Record for The Biggest Knit/Crochet Stocking! Weighing in at over 1600 pounds, the stocking is made up of approximately 1260 blankets hand knit and crocheted by 830 people. Thank you to everyone that donated a blanket in support of Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation!
Watch the action behind the scenes as they set the world record:
830 women and men helped knit and crochet the World’s Biggest Knit/Crochet Stocking!
It took 960 hours to join the blankets together to make the stocking. Or 40 days!
Blankets were donated from 4 of the Canadian Provinces! 1 blanket came from as far as Ireland! Every blanket was either hand knit or crocheted. Blankets were donated from all 50 States!
