Snowman Stocking SVG

About this design

A little snowman has made his home on this stocking. Near the heel, a small, round snowman is cut right out, with a head, a body and two stick arms raised in a cheerful wave. The stocking itself is classic, with a wide cuff, a long leg and a rounded foot. In the layered version, the snowman shows the cream backing, like he is made of real snow.

The stocking is one connected piece with a single cut-out, the snowman. The shapes are bold, so it passes our cut checks from just 2 inches tall.

Color layers

• Backing in cream, which becomes the snowman

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 2 inches tall. The stick arms are the finest part, so for felt choose 4 inches or more. For a child’s shirt, 7 to 8 inches tall.

Step by step: snowman with a scarf

1. Set the stocking to 5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the red layer from red felt and the backing from white felt.
3. Glue the red layer onto the white backing.
4. Cut a tiny strip of green or plaid felt and glue it across the snowman’s neck as a scarf.
5. Add two black dots for eyes with a fine marker.

Color ideas

• Red with a white snowman, the classic
• Green with a white snowman
• Navy with a white snowman for a snowy night
• Red with a pale blue snowman for a frosty look

Design notes

The snowman sits on the heel, the widest part of the stocking, where he has room for his raised arms. The cuff above stays plain, which makes this stocking easy to personalize.

Good to know

Because the snowman is the only cut-out, white or silver glitter backing makes him sparkle like fresh snow. On a white shirt, skip the backing and let the fabric become the snowman. A pair of tiny black buttons glued down his middle finishes the look.

Variations to try

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