Free “Scrap” Pattern

When you hear the word “scrap” in relation to knitting, you might think you’re dealing with a project that will help you use up little bits of your stash. Not so in the case of Cecelia’s Scrap Pattern, featured over at RosMadeMe. Here, scrap is a conflation of scarf and wrap and it’s a term for a cute little neckwarmer complete with ruffles, sparkles and a knit flower.

Cecelia is actually a friend of the blogger’s sister, who was the knitter behind the project, which also features cables and double moss stitch. That’s a lot in a little package, but it’s really cute and sure to keep your neck warm and fashionable on a winter’s day.

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?

Hey i have pinned lots of patterns from here and as i want people to make something for free so i am just pinning patterns that are free. I feel bad to see some pattern comes with a price and not all can afford. I am happy that you have put patterns for free.
