A St. Nicholas stocking is a classic decoration that fits perfectly into the pre-Christmas season.


The crochet pattern is available here

This stocking is great for wrapping a gift and can then be used as a pretty decoration.

In my pattern, I used cotton yarn, but all other materials can be used as well - the stocking will be larger with thicker yarn and correspondingly smaller with thinner yarn.

Crocheted with a 3.5 mm hook, the stocking measures approx. 20 cm

Materials needed: approx. 50 g of yarn (approx. 115 m/50 g, 100% cotton) in red, some ribbon, and a Christmas ornament.

The little reindeer is looking forward to wintertime and is a must-have for St. Nicholas Day too!

The pattern is especially suitable for beginners, as it is described in great detail and includes plenty of pictures.
Crocheted with leftover cotton yarn and sock yarn, it will be about 16 cm long and about 19 cm high up to the tip of the antlers.

St. Nicholas gifts naturally belong in suitable packaging, like this one—a spacious and sturdy gift bag.



This St. Nicholas boot is made of cardstock and measures approximately 18.5 x 21 x 9 cm. With a little crafting experience, it’s quick and easy to make; only cutting out the many stars takes a bit of time, so be sure to start early.

This will make everyone look forward to St. Nicholas Day just a little bit more ♥



The detailed crochet pattern explains step-by-step how to crochet these enchanting St. Nicholas bags.

You’ll need 1 skein each of the main colors shown (red, green, and white), plus scraps in skin tone and dark brown. We used cotton yarn with a length of 100 m per 50 g and a size 3 crochet hook.
For the fluffy beards, you’ll need fluffy yarn (e.g., Lenja Baby Soft by Schachenmayr) and a size 3.5 crochet hook.

This makes the St. Nicholas bags large enough to fit an entire bar of chocolate inside :-)

The Christmas Knobblys are, of course, also perfect as little St. Nicholas Day gifts ♥



The crochet pattern is very detailed, and you’ll only need a small amount of cotton yarn (e.g., Schachenmayr Catania) and a size 2.5 crochet hook.

The glitter yarn can easily be replaced with regular cotton yarn ;-)

Ideal for filling or as a decoration during the Christmas season, this Christmas stocking is crocheted in one piece and is also easy for beginners to make.

Leftover yarn is enough for the appliqué, and it can also be used wonderfully as a pendant.
