Heart Pattern Stocking SVG

About this design

This stocking is full of love. It tilts playfully to one side, with a soft scalloped cuff at the top and a rounded foot, and five little hearts are scattered across the leg and foot in different sizes. In the layered version, the hearts show the cream backing, like little appliqué patches or a printed fabric.

The stocking is one connected piece with five heart cut-outs. The shapes are bold and simple, so it passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches tall, small enough for planner stickers and mini tags.

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 1.5 inches tall. For tags and stickers, 2 to 3 inches. For a shirt, 7 to 9 inches. The hearts are big enough to cut from felt at 3 inches or more.

Step by step: love-filled gift tag

1. Set the stocking to 3 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the red layer from red cardstock and the backing from pink or white cardstock.
3. Glue the red stocking onto the backing.
4. Punch a hole in the cuff and add a ribbon.
5. Write “Stuffed with love” on the back.

Color ideas

• Red with cream hearts, the classic
• Red with pink hearts for a sweet look
• White with red hearts for a Valentine’s twist
• Green with gold hearts

Design notes

The hearts are placed loosely rather than in a grid, which gives the stocking a playful, hand-decorated look. The largest hearts sit in the middle of the leg, where they show best, and the smaller ones fill the foot and the space under the cuff. The tilt of the stocking adds to the cheerful feel, as if it is swinging on its hook.

Good to know

The hearts are the only cut-outs, so the backing color you choose becomes the heart color. Pink makes it sweet and romantic, gold makes it festive and white keeps it classic. You can also glue a small piece of patterned paper behind the hearts for a fabric look.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to tilt the other way.
• Add the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
