Are you looking for something nice to knit for the holidays? I gathered a few Christmas stocking knitting kits for different skill levels. They also use a wide variety of different knitting techniques so if you don’t like colorwork you could try cables or just stockinette instead.
Toe Up Christmas Stocking Kit
These absolutely stunning stockings are designed by Faye Kennington who is one of my favorite independent knitwear designers.
The pattern contains 24 different colorwork charts you can use to mix and match to create your own unique design.
The kit includes the pattern and enough worsted-weight yarn. For 1 stocking you need 3 skeins of Wool of the Andes Worsted. In addition, you need size US6 (4.0 mm) and US7 (4.5mm) DPNs or 32″ or longer circular needles for the magic loop technique.
If you prefer knitting cuff-down there’s a kit for that too.
Happy Gnome Stocking Kit
Happy Gnome stocking is worked flat in stockinette stitch, using the intarsia method and thus it’s suitable for intermediate knitters.
The kit includes the pattern and enough worsted-weight wool yarn for 1 stocking. In addition, you need size 6 (4mm) straight or circular needles.
MillaMia Christmas Stocking Kit
The pattern contains instructions for three stockings: striped, cabled, and the Nordic Fair Isle. It’s available for free so you can take a look at it before the purchase decision.

If stranded knitting is not your thing this cabled stocking by Emily Kintigh is a beautiful design as well.
