I’m so excited to share my newest quick-and-cozy holiday make: Easy Knit Stocking Ornaments! These tiny stockings are beginner-friendly, work up so fast, and add the sweetest handmade touch to any holiday décor. Whether you’re decorating your tree, topping gifts, or making a batch for friends and family, these little cuties are as fun as they are simple.
The Details
Each stocking finishes at approximately 1½” x 3½” making them the perfect mini-size for your tree this year! I used Sport Weight yarn, but since they don’t have to fit anyone, you can use any yarn you like, just follow the yarn recommendations for needle size. And know that the yarn you choose may change your finished size. They’re small enough for beginners to finish confidently—and for experienced knitters to whip up a dozen in no time.
These ornaments only use about 2-1/2 grams of yarn each, so they’re perfect for using up your scraps as well!
For the samples, I used Scheepjes sport-weight yarn in the Jade and Natural colorways. I love how the colors pop and how crisp the stitches look in sport weight yarn. You can make your stockings in any color combo you like—stripes, dots, two-tone, or solid! It’s such a great scrap-buster project.
Supplies I used:
- 3.5 mm Knitter’s Pride Dreamz DPN needles
- 3.5 mm Clover crochet hook (for finishing touches)
- Sheepjes Stonewash Sport Weight Yarn (Jade, Natural)
- Yarn Needle
And yes—they’re very beginner friendly! If you can knit, purl, and increase, you’re good to go.
