Free Knitting Patterns: Christmas Patterns

Free knitting patterns for Christmas stockings, ornaments and more. Great for gifts or to use for your own holiday decorations.
Bias Knit Washcloth
This super-easy Christmas-colored washcloth makes a cheerful addition to any kitchen or bathroom. Or knit up a couple in different colors and add them to a holiday gift of bath items.
Basic Christmas Stocking
This simple stocking provides a blank slate on which you can work your magic. Add stripes, work duplicate stitch to add a name, or even change the pattern stitch to make this cute stocking your own.
Mini Christmas Stocking
This adorable tiny stocking includes all the steps you'd use to make a much bigger sock, just on a very small scale. Super-quick to knit, these stockings make adorable ornaments. Use them as decoration on your Christmas presents for an extra handmade touch.
Knitted Christmas Stocking
This fun stocking pattern is relatively easy. Follow the pattern for a plain single-colored stocking embellished with knitted balls, or make this pattern your own by adding stripes or working it in a multi-colored yarn with Christmas flavor.
Santa Toy
A cute little Santa to put on your tree, embellish a gift or use in any other way you like. I can see him sitting in a big wreath over the fireplace, or sticking out of the top of a (homemade, of course!) stocking.
Christmas Tree Skirt
Every Christmas tree needs a Christmas tree skirt, and this pattern fits the bill beautifully. Knit in wedges that are sewn together, the sections include a little cable to make it a little more festive.
Bead Knitted Christmas Ball Ornament
For those who enjoy knitting with beads, these lovely Christmas ball ornaments are a lot of fun. Knit flat and shaped around a foam ball, these are also quick to knit and add a touch of sparkle to your knitting basket.
Snowman Ornament
This cute little guy is knit straight in the round and looks sort of like a packing peanut without his accessories. A great ornament or bag embellishment.
Jingle Bells
These sweet little bell ornaments are built around a I-cord, which makes both the edge and the loop to hang the ornament from. Knit in the round with worsted weight yarn, they are a very quick last-minute holiday project.
Christmas Wreath Ornament
Talk about your simple last-minute projects! This wreath is made of three sections of I-cord braided together and tied to form a circle. Simple and cute!
