17 Simple Christmas Crochet 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.
The Yarns for Crochet Gift Ideas
If you are crocheting many gifts, then you’ll want to use yarns that are beautiful but affordable. I love using different types of yarns for gifts, but below are a few that I love (and use) and hope you’ll want to try them too!
Check out each of the yarns below, so you can pick your new favorite to crochet gifts with and more!
Vanna’s Choice by Lion Brand
Vanna’s Choice is a great low price yarn that is available in a variety of colors, so you can make your next handmade gift truly unique to the person you are gifting it to.
Wool – Ease Thick + Quick by Lion Brand
Wool-Ease Thick + Quick yarn is a great super bulky six yarn that is outstanding if you’d love to work up a gift fast.
