Updated: With the Passing of Queen Elizabeth, we have republished this post, in loving Memory of the Queen. These Royal family and Queen Elizabeth knitting patterns are a great way to honor the queen in her loving memory.

Here is a link to the King Charles Knitting Pattern

Royalists around the world are set to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee this week, but these royal-inspired patterns are fun to knit and use any time!

As you might expect, British yarn company Rowan has a whole collection of Jubilee knits, which you can check out on Ravelry and buy the ebook of 8 patterns direct from them. I think the bunting is my favorite!

What celebratory spread would be complete without a tiny Queen? This knit Queen Elizabeth is wearing a pretty yellow outfit and a big hat (of course!). You can download the pattern from Knitting by Post.

Or try this Jubilee wreath by Rebecca Roberts, which features the Queen amid flowers, balloons and bunting (and corgis of course!). You can get it on Ravelry.

There’s a royal watch party on this Jubilee wreath from Knit Click Shop. Make all the individual characters for a playset instead if you’d rather. This pattern is on Etsy.

Lorraine Hearn’s Jubilee Butterflies are a fun decoration that can be used for all sorts of patriotic celebrations in nations with read, white and blue on their flags. This pattern (and others in her Jubilee collection) can be found on Raverly.

If there’s anything more British than a tea cozy with the Queen on it, I don’t know what it is. This one from Johns Knits Creations is available on Etsy.

Tom and Beryl’s Jubilee Cake and Bunting is a perfect little decor for the table, with cakes made to fit over chocolate oranges. Check it out on Ravelry.

Susan Cowper also has cute chocolate orange cozies in Jubilee style, with a Queen, crown, corgi, Queen’s Guard, and more. You can also find them on Ravelry.

Christmas Stocking Knitting Patterns for Your Pets

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?
