25+ Christmas Stocking Patterns - To Sew Now!

Get in the holiday spirit with these Christmas stocking patterns. I've carefully selected 27 31 from the popular diy Christmas stockings to make your holiday decorating fun and easy - take a look!

This year, I finally did it: I started my holiday crafting early enough to post a lot of holiday sewing tutorials, yey! So that you can start your Christmas sewing early enough, too! In addition to a whole Homemade Holiday Free Pattern bundle (here), I also designed my first, full-sized Christmas stocking pattern. And then two more!

So I thought I might make them easy for you to find and use - made this post!

Christmas Stocking Patterns

Here's my list of the best free Christmas stocking patterns I have found around the net. I'll start with mine and add a lot of other cute, smart and creative stockings to sew. Enjoy!

My Reversible Christmas Stocking Pattern

These Christmas stockings are what I came up with after years of sewing. I designed them to use the least possible yardage while retaining a beautiful form, the no-fold cuff is sleek and there is no gaping. Test it, you'll love it! You can get the pattern for free when you join our mailing list.

But I kept getting questions from you about how to make large Christmas stockings.

So I added a different, large stocking pattern and made not one but two tutorials for two totally different-looking stockings: a traditional and a modern one. This one is for a modern quilted stocking:
