Why You’ll Love These Easy Crochet Ornaments

Over the years, I have designed a couple of different ornament patterns that my kids loved, and they still do even now.

My two favorites are the gingerbread man crochet ornament and the star ornament! These easy patterns are a great way to give your tree a fun and cozy feel, as well as a handmade touch.

When the weather gets chilly, and I’m stuck inside, my go to is always crochet blankets to keep myself busy. But occasionally, I like to crochet a fun project like these ornaments that takes less time during the holidays.

Small crochet ornament patterns are great for making Christmas tree decorations or gifts quickly. You may also enjoy crocheting snowflakes too to use as ornaments, since they are a smaller crochet project to make.
