Paw Toe Pet Stocking SVG

About this design

This stocking belongs to someone with four paws. It is a slim, angled stocking with a wide cuff and a long leg, and right on the tip of the toe, a small paw print shows a pad and little toes, as if a pet stepped onto it. The rest of the stocking is plain, which keeps the paw print subtle and sweet.

The stocking is one connected piece with three small cut-outs that form the paw. With bold, simple shapes, it passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches tall. The paw toes are small, so for felt choose 4 inches or more. For a mug, 3.5 to 4 inches tall.

Step by step: puppy’s first Christmas ornament

1. Set the stocking to 4 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the red layer from red cardstock and the backing from white.
3. Glue them together and punch a hole in the cuff.
4. Write “Puppy’s First Christmas” and the pet’s name down the leg.
5. Hang it with a ribbon or a short piece of leash cord.

Color ideas

• Red with a cream paw, the classic
• Green with a white paw
• Plaid patterned vinyl with a black paw
• Blue with a white paw for a winter puppy

Design notes

The paw sits right on the toe, so the stocking reads as a pet stocking without the paw taking over. That leaves the long leg free for a name written lengthwise, which suits longer pet names.

Good to know

This design and the Paw Print Stocking make a matching pair: use this one for a smaller pet and the bigger paw print for a larger one, or hang both for a dog and a cat in the same home.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to point the toe the other way.
• Add a name down the leg in your software.
