15 Festive knits to whip up now

Friends, Christmas is just around the corner now so I’m bringing you 15 festive knits to start working on now. This isn’t even our entire Christmas range – you can find plenty more designs in our Christmas Collection but here are some of my faves (I was going to stop at 10 but just couldn’t!)

My favourite thing about Christmas knits is that you get to bring them out year after year – they start to really build sentimental value over the years, especially something that’s handmade. There is something *so* special about that and I absolutely LOVE it.

From Cosy Christmas Socks and Merry Jumpers to Stockings and Sacks that you can personalise I’ve tried to cover all bases here….

Cosy Christmas Socks

Stay snug this season with some super festive chunky socks. A new limited edition colour way just for Christmas, these Santa Socks are quick to make and an ideal gift to give.

Spruce it up!

The cutest garland you ever did see! You can also use the individual trees as baubles, decorations or personalise them with initials to use as gift tags, table settings or tree decs.

The OG Santa Hat

Our Jumbo Santa Hat is one of our all time most popular products, we knit hundreds every year but also love selling the knit kits so you can whip them up yourself!

Remnants Stocking

This Zero Waste Stocking is my all time favourite Stocking (and that's saying something as we have a lot of stockings!) I just love making them for all the family, every one is unique but they all look incredible together.

Elf Hat

These super cute elf hats are a hit for the whole family. They are perfect for any festive event and just bring so much joy! The kit comes in these set colours or if you download the pattern you can go wild with colour.

Feeling Pine Garland

A brilliant beginner knit - this garland is ideal for decorating the tree, staircase or table. A fun and festive decoration that you can knit with your eyes closed.

Festive Fika

Our limited Edition Festive Fika is here and she's a beauty! The non-christmas Christmas jumper that you can wear from October to February and I promise that the colourwork is easier than it looks!

It's worked top-down so there's no sewing up. It uses a combination of 5 different colours but in the most simple way possible. She won't be around forever, in fact she's only here until Christmas so if you love her I'd go go go!

MINI-STOCKINGS-ON-TABLE-LAUREN-ASTON-DESIGNS-12-1.jpg

Mini Stockings

With this knit kit you can make a garland of tiny stockings (also available as an advent calendar kit for you to fill with mini treats year after year) but you can also use them individually as decorations, gift tags or place settings if you personalise them.

Christmas Trees

Our Christmas Trees make really lovely decorations for the window sill, mantelpiece or table center. I love getting them out of our Christmas box every year and finding them a new home.

Knitted crowns

Say goodbye to paper crowns - one year I knit everyone round the table their own crown (in the colour that suited their personality the most) and it still gets talked about (mainly by me but that's not the point...) Quick, easy and not just for Christmas, everyone needs a crown all year round!

Jumbo Knit Stockings

Another one we love to knit alllll year round ready for this season, our jumbo knit stockings become *heirlooms* and how special for you to make them yourself for you and your loved ones?

Use our 25mm Needles and Jumbo yarn and enjoy the experience knitting something way bigger than usual <3

Elf Sack

If a 'smaller sack' is more your bag then look no further than our adorable Elf sack. Super simple to make and impressively impactful once finished, we can't get enough of this bad boy.

SANTA-HAT-TREE-TOPPER-LAUREN-ASTON-DESIGNS-6-1.jpg

Tree Topper

Our adorable tree toppers are a fast and fun knit that you can make for yourself or give as a gift - either way they'll be brought our year after year to enjoy!

Chunky Santa Hat

For a more 'day-to-day' santa hat we have our super chunky version that uses a lovely tactile loop stitch, these come in three sizes for the whole family <3

Merry-Jumper-5.jpg

Merry Jumper

Our Merry jumper is made in our Big Little Yarn so is washable and can be made any length you like. You could do it in traditional colours like this or in brighter bolder colours to catch the eye!
