Day 17 Winner – Knitting

I feel like a bit of a winner because I made it through this whole 17 days of giveaways and am only waiting for one more address so that I can send out a shelf full of goodies to places all over the country (and even a couple of places in Canada!). There’s one more winner to announce, though, and that’s number 38 from the Romi Hill comments, also known as Candy, who says knitting is therapeutic and helps her focus while listening at church.

Congratulations to everyone who one, and a huge thank you to everyone who took part. This really was a lot of fun for me, and I’m so thrilled at the giant stack of stuff that’s making its way out of my office really soon.

If you didn’t win, you should know that I have now an even bigger pile of stuff I want to give away because I just spent the weekend cleaning off my bookshelves. I intend to continue to do about one giveaway a week, but I think I’m taking this week off!

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
