Crochet Christmas Patterns for Beginners

Easy Christmas crochet patterns are perfect to make for the holidays! Below, I put together a collection of seventeen free Christmas patterns for beginners to more advanced crocheters that you can make this year as gifts.

I was inspired to make this list when my sister asked me to crochet her a gift for her mother-in-law and I needed a quick gift for my children’s teachers. I love getting homemade gifts, so I was thrilled with the idea of crocheting handmade gifts for family & friends.

Read on down to find the full crocheted holiday pattern list to get started today on your next handmade gift for Christmas.

Make This Year a Crocheted Holiday!

Christmas for crocheters is a busy time! Handmade gifts and crocheted pieces are a great way to give something extra meaningful. I know my kids LOVE anything that is red, green, sparkly and has to do with Christmas, so I usually try to crochet something for them every year.

Two years ago, I made Christmas tree gift cardholders for their teachers and the year before that, a Christmas star banner to hang. As for this year, I am not quite sure yet, but I am open to any suggestions for gifts.
