Santa Claus Pictures 1

Here are some custom Christmas stockings that I've knit with Santa Claus pictures on them. More photos can be seen at Santa Claus Pictures 2 and Santa Claus Pictures 3.


There are dozens, perhaps hundreds, of Santa Claus stocking designs in existence! Both full-figure and face only Santa pictures are popular. He usually does best on a green background, since red and white both figure into the classic look. However, a blue background is also nice.

Santa in his sleigh with bag of toys

Santa rides in his sleigh above the treetops. His fuzzy bag of toys is tied with a green ribbon.  See Reindeer Pictures 1 for a look at the reindeer pulling the sleigh.

stocking with simple trees and Santas

This is a variation of a very old pattern. The white section of the foot has the last two digits of the recipient's birth date. The drawstring with pompoms is an unusual and very nice addition.

very large Santa face

This Santa face is so large that it wraps around the stocking almost from edge to edge. Fortunately, I was asked to knit 2 of them. That way I could get a photo showing the whole face!

Santa juggling snowballs

A customer sent me the stocking on the right to duplicate. She wanted to add the embellishments herself, so I just did the knitting. The hanging loop uses a small plastic ring as its base to give it shape.

Santa face with fancy tree on reverse

This stocking has more stitches than usual to accommodate the larger pictures. In the original, Santa has green eyes. The red background and outline-style hat are unusual, and very effective.

Santa face with tree on reverse -- green background

The same design, but on a green background. This has an interesting and unusual effect. The recipient's initials are added on this side, and the birth date on the the reverse.

Santa walking his dog, front view

This unusual design has Santa walking a dog off to his right side. See Different Pictures 1 for a view of the fluffy dog.

large Santa with reindeer and black book

This unusual design has a reindeer peering over Santa's shoulder while Santa checks his list twice. The design wraps all the way around the stocking.

view of Santa's "black book"

A back view shows that the reindeer is right behind Santa's elbow. It almost looks as though Santa is trying not to let the reindeer see the list!

What Customers Say about Stockings I've Knit with Santa Claus Pictures

My wife ordered some stockings for our family. They were based off of the old stocking that I had as a kid. I just wanted to thank you because they are really, really well done. I was skeptical at having my old stocking (which isn't in great shape) redone, because I'm not fond of new things...especially when they replace something that held important memories for me. But I couldn't be happier with the new stockings. It really made my day when I saw how they turned out. I hope my kids appreciate their stockings as much as I did growing up. Thanks again, we love them. Anthony D., Green Oaks IL


We got the stockings in the mail yesterday and they are perfect! They are exactly what my husband wanted. He loves the size, the colors, everything. And the boys can't wait until Christmas. Thanks so much for doing such a great job on them. Thanks for including a few business cards, too. I'm sure that anyone who sees our stockings will want them for their families, too. Annette M., Vail AZ


Well done! We received the stocking today and are glad you enclosed business cards. You did a great job! Is there someplace online we can rave about you? Isha Y., Falls Church VA
