Snowflake Stocking SVG

About this design

Winter has landed on this stocking. It has a soft, fluffy cuff at the top, with a bumpy fur edge, and a long leg that ends in a rounded toe. Across the heel, a large lacy snowflake spreads out in cream, with little hearts and branching arms, and it runs right off the edge of the stocking, like a pattern knitted into the fabric.

The design is two pieces with eight cut-outs. The snowflake’s arms break the heel edge into a small separate tip, which is why there are two pieces. In the layered version, the snowflake shows the cream backing. It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall. The snowflake details are fine, so for felt or glitter cardstock choose 5 inches or more. Keep the small heel tip on the transfer tape when you weed.

Step by step: layered card

1. Set the stocking to 4.5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the red layer from red cardstock and the backing from white or silver cardstock.
3. Glue the red stocking onto the backing.
4. Glue it to the front of a folded 5 by 7 inch card.
5. Add a few white gel pen dots around it for falling snow.

Color ideas

• Red with a cream snowflake, the classic
• Navy with a silver snowflake for a frosty look
• Green with a white snowflake
• White with a pale blue snowflake

Design notes

The snowflake is placed on the heel, the widest part of the stocking, where it has room to spread out. The rest of the stocking stays plain, so the flake stands out like a single knitted motif.

Good to know

The snowflake runs off the heel, which makes the design feel like knitted fabric rather than a sticker. If you prefer a cleaner edge, use the editor’s offset border, which wraps the whole stocking in one outline and holds the heel tip in place.

Variations to try

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