28+ free Christmas stocking patterns

Sharing is caring!

28+ free Christmas stocking patternsI had such a good time making this list! My grandma & mom hand knitted our family’s stockings but I have no such skills, so if I want to carry on the tradition I’ll have to sew some instead! I rounded up 28+ free Christmas stocking patterns with all sorts of styles and difficulty levels. Sewing machine or by hand, classic or modern, there is something for everyone.

Christmas stockings are a quick, fun sewing project; I think they would be a good way to “wrap” a present inside too instead of just hanging on the mantel!
