Custom Christmas Stockings

Christmas stockings have been enjoyed for many generations and in many cultures. A well-made stocking will last for years and collect wonderful memories.

Add a new tradition to your family’s Christmas, or surprise a friend or loved one with a custom stocking designed just for them. I will knit your custom Christmas stockings according to your preferences, using careful finishing techniques and long-wearing materials (more info below photos). I can:

knit from a commercial pattern that you provide;
modify an existing pattern to include pictures and words of your choice;
duplicate existing stockings;
or design custom stockings from scratch based on your specifications.

Prices for Custom Christmas Stockings

I price custom stockings based on design complexity, which affects the time spent knitting and finishing. I usually use either acrylic or wool for the main yarn.

Acrylic is safe from fiber-eating insects, and can be machine washed and dried if there are no other fibers or embellishments in the stocking. The acrylic that I use has very intense, jewel-tone colors. Wool is more traditional and has a higher-quality feel to it. However, it must be hand washed only, and may need protection from certain insects. The colors are typically softer and more natural in look.

My stocking prices begin at $25 for a 12" personalized Christmas stocking with 2 colors and a name. The picture stockings, which seem to be the most popular, begin at $75 for a very simple one. Most of the picture stockings you see on my site are $85. There are a few with lots of sequins or other embellishments, which are $100 due to the extra time involved. I don't typically line my stockings, but am willing to do so for $10 extra.

I will quote an exact price for your custom Christmas stockings once I determine the details of your order. As for other custom orders, I ask for a 50% deposit in advance, with the balance due upon completion.
