Knitted Stocking Fillers for Christmas Week

We’re in the heart of December now — that magical time when stockings come out, presents begin piling up secretly in wardrobes, and our homes slowly fill with festive excitement. Stocking fillers are often the most joyful gifts to knit: small, fun, and bursting with personality. This week we’re celebrating quick, charming makes that fit perfectly into Christmas stockings, gift bags, or place settings for the big day.

Our Pattern of the Week is the Knitted Bauble Pattern, with 20% off using code BAUBLE20 until Monday. Alongside it, we’re featuring two festive favourites — the Large Reindeer and the Mince Pie. Each one is a delightful addition to stockings and gift hampers.

Pattern of the Week: Knitted Baubles

The Knitted Bauble Pattern is perfect for those last-minute Christmas knitting projects that still look beautifully thoughtful. These soft, lightweight baubles knit up quickly in DK yarn and offer endless room for creativity — stripes, colour-blocks, metallic yarns or embroidered initials all work brilliantly.

Baubles aren’t just for trees either. Slip one into a stocking, attach one to a wrapped gift, or hang them from doorknobs, garlands and table centrepieces. They give a charming handmade touch to any festive display. With 20% off using BAUBLE20, it’s a wonderful week to knit a small batch ready for Christmas Eve.

Large Reindeer for a Festive Surprise

The Large Reindeer Knitting Pattern brings instant festive cheer. With his soft antlers, bright red nose and friendly expression, he’s a brilliant stocking filler for children and adults alike. He sits neatly on shelves and windowsills and makes a lovely companion for your other knitted decorations.

This reindeer works wonderfully as a standalone gift or as part of a set — imagine a knitted reindeer peeking out of a stocking on Christmas morning! He’s a delightful project to knit in cosy December evenings, and a guaranteed favourite in any home.

Mince Pies for Sweet Handmade Treats

The Mince Pie Knitting Pattern is a festive classic — playful, recognisable, and guaranteed to bring a smile. With its golden crust and holly topping, the knitted mince pie is a wonderful stocking filler, table favour or handmade decoration. Pop one in a child’s stocking, place several on a plate as part of your table décor, or give one to anyone who prefers a calorie-free treat!

Mince pies knit up quickly and use only small amounts of yarn, making them perfect for using up festive leftovers while creating something charming.

How to Personalise Your Stocking Fillers

Small knitted gifts become even more special with thoughtful finishing touches. Here are a few simple ideas to make your handmade stocking fillers truly unforgettable:

Small Knits, Big Smiles

Stocking fillers don’t need to be grand — it’s the thought, time and handmade charm that make them unforgettable. Baubles, mince pies and reindeer each carry a little festive magic and are a joy to both knit and gift. Whether you’re filling stockings for little ones, friends, colleagues or family, these quick makes add warmth to every Christmas morning.
