Crochet Christmas Decorations

Cover your home in festive crochet with this collection of patterns for crochet Christmas decorations! We’ve already covered crochet Christmas ornaments, but if you want to add even more handmade holiday cheer to your home, these projects are a great place to start.

Crochet Garland Patterns

One of my favorite ways to bring a handmade touch to holiday decor is through the use of garlands. There are so many festive options and they add a sweet touch to the tree, around the fireplace or even running down a banister. Crochet garlands are usually made of individual elements that you could also use as ornaments, to decorate gifts or in other ways.

Some of these could even be done in different colors to make crochet Christmas decorations or decor for other holidays. For example, the circle crochet garland from Make and Takes could be done in red, green and white for a more traditional holiday design, or shades of blue and red and shown would be cute for Valentine’s Day. Or do orange and black for Halloween, or bust your stash and make it in tons of different colors for a party or everyday decor.

Zeza & Flor has a super cute linked chain crochet garland that would be fun on the Christmas tree or as decor for other holidays. There’s not a pattern on their page, but it looks like the links are eight stitches across and worked in single crochet. (If you need more details DW Crochet Patterns has another version.)

I love this ornament crochet Christmas garland pattern from Handmade Heather, and this is a good example of one you could take the individual elements and use them in different ways. The pattern includes three different ornament designs that are also embellished with simple stitching.

Keep it classic with a popcorn and cranberry garland made to last through the years with crocheted kernels. This pattern is from Country Life in Crochet, and while it does take some time to assemble the result is well worth it.

Boho Christmas decorations are so fun and colorful, and this garland of Christmas baubles from Brooklyn and Company would be perfect for a boho style tree. The balls come in different sizes so you can make them all one size or use all the sizes and mix them together. You can also use more or fewer colors depending on the look you’re going for.

Crochet Christmas Trees

A crochet Christmas tree for the table or mantel is a fun way to add crochet Christmas decorations to your home.

These cute tabletop Christmas trees from Hooked on Patterns are easy to modify to make different sizes, and it gives tips for making trees of different sizes. You can also use thicker or thinner yarn to make a bigger or smaller tree if you like.

Vintage J Crochets has an adorable six layer crochet Christmas tree that you can work all in one color, make an ombre or rainbow or whatever you like. Use yarn with a weight of 1 or 2 to make tiny trees like these, or use heavier weight yarn to make bigger ones.

The 3D crochet Christmas tree from Repeat Crafter Me is super simple because the tree part is a ribbon of crochet that’s woven onto the crochet “stand” to make a tree shape. So fun!

This one is meant to be a fidget toy but I think it would be cute as a decoration, too, especially if you used different colors of beads to make it look like ornaments. The design is from Easy Quickly Toys and it includes three sizes so you can make a whole forest of trees to play with or display.

The farmhouse Christmas tree from Firefly Crochets is worked in little pieces that use different stitches to make the pieces different sizes. They’re then stuck on a skewer that’s poked into a yogurt cup to make the tree.

Crochet Christmas Afghans

I don’t know if they really count as crochet Christmas decorations, but it’s lots of fun to stitch a seasonal blanket to keep on the couch during the holidays.

Probably one of the most popular Christmas afghans to crochet is the peppermint candy afghan. This version from The Sweetest Crochet PT uses worsted weight yarn and has a fun red and white edging. There are lots of different versions and you can find another one from The Crochet Crowd.

Another one there are lots of versions of is a blanket that looks like Santa’s coat. This one is from Left in Knots and it’s easy to stitch using bulky yarn and a variety of easy stitches. The designer says it’s suitable for advanced beginners, but if you know how to single crochet, half double crochet and third loop HDC you’ll be all set.

Sometimes just the color of a blanket can make it seasonal. That’s the case with this chevron afghan from The Easy Design. Worked in red and green as well as a fluffy white yarn, it’s a great seasonal pattern that’s not too Christmasy, and the pattern comes in three sizes so you can make a blanket for a child or a throw for the back of the couch.

Snowmen are fun for Christmas and winter in general, and this snowman afghan pattern from Crochet for You Blog is super cute and fun to make because it’s worked in blocks and you can embellish as many of them as you like to look like snowmen. You can also make as many blocks as you like to make it the size you want.

I also love this Christmas tree crochet afghan from Seacliffe Cottage. It’s made with bobbles worked in a different color from the background, which is done with intarsia. This one isn’t for beginners but the effect is really cool and worth learning the skills for.

Crochet Christmas Amigurumi

Amigurumi crochet toys are lots of fun to make any time of year, but there are tons of options when it comes to making crochet Christmas decorations.

This little reindeer from Cuddly Stitches Craft is so cute and uses sport weight yarn. It’s made for those with intermediate crochet skills, but the pattern does a good job of explaining all the things you need to do to create it.

Grace and Yarn has a darling crochet nativity scene you can stitch up with your yarn odd balls. It uses worsted weight yarn and the pattern is a full 46 pages long, full of lots of photos and detailed information to make your project a success.

I had to share this gingerbread man amigurumi from MKRH02 because it made me laugh. Make a whole gingerbread man or one with a bite taken out of it! It uses worsted weight yarn and includes the pattern for the candy cane you see in the background.

Stitch up a sweet snowman with this pattern from Knots Merry Yarn. It uses blanket yarn and comes in two different sizes of 12 and 17 inches (30.5 or 43 cm).

Speaking of blanket yarn, this trio of crochet cuties includes a reindeer, snowman and gingerbread man. The pattern is from Fiona Crochet Design. Each doll is about 12 inches/30.5 cm tall and the patterns include all the details including the hats and other embellishments.

More Crochet Christmas Decorations

Of course all of this barely scratches the surface of crochet Christmas decorations that are available. Here are a few more that don’t fit into a category above.

If you’re a fan of Christmas tree cakes, you’ll want to make this Christmas tree cake pillow from Sheepish Stitches. This would be so fun for a Secret Santa of white elephant gift, too.

We already covered trees, but this crochet Christmas tree has a difference: it’s actually a set of coasters! The pattern from Hygge Crochet Co includes a little tree and the coasters are the base. It calls for worsted weight cotton yarn.

This snowman wall hanging from Stitch by Fay is easy to stitch and super cute to hand on your wall through the holidays and all winter long. It calls for DK weight yarn but you could make a slightly larger version with worsted weight if you wanted.

Crochet mistletoe can be used in all sorts of ways, including adding it to ornaments, using it in garlands, turning it into decorations for gift bags and more. This design from Miray in Crafts is easy and once you’ve made a few I’m sure you’ll come up with lots of uses for it.

Or how about this mini wreath coffee cozy from Heather Corinne Crochet? The base can be embellished in a bunch of different ways, and the wreath could be used separately as an ornament or decoration.
