Christmas is a time for relaxation and some have very long holidays, with lots of time on their hands. Using this time to focus on a Christmas crochet pattern can be a good way to unwind and focus on yourself during the holiday season. We often only get pockets of time throughout the year to do what we love, but the Christmas season can be long enough to complete smaller projects.
Making your own Christmas crochet decorations can also be a good budget friendly way to decorate if you are fast at crocheting. Not only will it be a money saver, but also a nice memorable keepsake to remember the holiday by.
Whatever you are creating Christmas crochet projects for, this lost of Christmas crochet patterns will definitely leave you feeling inspired! Let’s take a look.
1. christmas baubles

Starting off with these colorful and wonderful Christmas baubles, which are super easy to make because they are a small project. These baubles can be made in so many different patterns and colors, you will never get bored of making them!
Every year it’s difficult to find a set of baubles that match what we want, however, with making your own baubles, you can design to your own taste. Make baubles to match you Christmas decor, you can even intertwine gold thread in there!
2. baby yoda

If you are a lover of star wars or someone in your family is, then this little cutie is a must have! This small baby yoda will sit nicely on your Christmas tree decorations, he looks impressive and it wouldn’t have taken you long to make!
It’s always nice to add something different to your decorations, something to remember each year different. You don’t even have to go for the traditional colors with this baby yoda, hey why not even make a pink baby yoda?!
3. blue penguin

I was amazed by this cute penguin as soon as I saw it! Add this little fella to your Christmas tree and give your tree some character. With only five small pieces to make this little penguin, it won’t take long to make.
I love the little pink stitches for the cheeks, adding some color and character to him. This design has been beautifully crafted and will show off your crochet skills.
4. crochet star

Christmas isn’t completely without a little star! Make this amigurumi star, either to hang on your three or put on top. This star is in full Christmas spirit with it’s red Christmas hat and smile, it’s one the kids will love!
5. gingerbread man

Another symbolic character of Christmas is the gingerbread man, and this little man is a cutie. This gingerbread man is easy to make and is very tiny, so it won’t take long at all. However, smaller crochet projects can be fidgety in my opinion, so have a little patience.
Add some beads in for the eyes and make him come to life! Display him on your tree or just hanging around. If you want a larger gingerbread man, just increase the overall pattern. Make different colored and patterned ones to make a whole family of gingerbread men.
6. plush snowman

From small crochet projects to larger ones, this snowman plush will keep you a little more busy. Create this cuddly teddy snowman, either for a gift or just something to bring in all the more Christmas spirit.
A little extra embellishments will be needed for this guy, for his eyes and buttons. Just a simple single stitch is mainly used for this project, so even though it looks like a bigger project, the stitches are pretty simple!
7. bear in stockings
Source: Loops and Love Crochet
These bear stockings are all the vibes for Christmas. If you love a good stocking filler then these are definitely one to make, These are actually stockings with the little bears sitting inside, so they can really be used.
Matching boy and girl bears, they are great for the little ones to have their own. The small details on the face and head is what sets them apart. The female has stitched on eye lashes which makes her look more adorable. In crochet designs its the small details in the pattern they have an overall effect.
8. Tree cuddler

This happy tree is a character with it’s happy smile! I love the star on its head, making him all the more special. This Christmas tree is almost 10 inches long and can be make even bigger by increasing the stitches.
The designer also has an easy to follow video tutorial if you love to learn by watching instead. I know for myself, I love following video tutorials instead, it’s easier to follow the stitches.
9. cute christmas trees
Source: Urbaki
Another variation of a Christmas tree crochet pattern, but this time a little cute amigurumi tree. This tree will be 4inches when finished. It’s a great little toy to have around for the kids at Christmas time or pop some string on and put it on your tree.
My favourite part of this design is the colorful stitches on the tree to represent the Christmas lights! It just gives it such a more realistic look and gives the tree more character.
10. Christmas mittens

Christmas isn’t Christmas without a good mitten pattern! Make these mittens to add to your crochet collect and make them in any colors and patterns! These mittens would be great to make as a keychain for the Christmas season or to hang on your tree, or even a small Christmas gift.
With only a few simple stitches, these mittens can be made in no time.
11. The grinch
Source: Little Crochet Farm
Another loveable Christmas character, the grinch! If your kids or anyone else in your family loves the grinch, then this pattern is a must. Make this amigurumi grinch, which also comes with a video tutorial on the website.
The eyes and mouth really make him look like the grinch! This little guy is 4.3inches, so a small fella but he would be easy and quick to make. Make different colored scarves to your liking and personalise it.
12. christmas wreath
Source: Raffamusa Designs
This Christmas wreath is so decorative and pretty, but also reminds me a little but of a Christmas donut! I think this pattern can have many variations and you can go all out with the pattern, adding your own twist on it.
13. Smiley christmas tree

You can never have enough variations of Christmas crochet patterns, since trees are what makes Christmas! These crochet trees are a more simpler version of a Christmas tree, with a little flower star! The designer also has a video tutorial to follow, and these can be made in less then 30 minutes!

14. rudolph the reindeer

We definitely need a rudolph the reindeer pattern in this collection! Reindeers are what gives Christmas all the nostalgic feelings. This reindeer might look complicated to make, but the designer makes it simple by just following her video tutorial. Make a collection of Christmas ornaments with this reindeer, the wreath and grinch!
15. candy cane
Source: Yarnspiration
This is a more simpler pattern then the rest of the patterns and looks super simple to make. Make this candy cane to add on your tree for decoration and add your own twist with different colors to match your home decorations.
16. hot chocolate mug
Source: Ollie Holly
If you love hot chocolate then these little armigurumi mugs are a must for your Christmas tree decorations. This design has three different styles to choose from and I love that each mug has different marshmellow or chocolate coming out from the top.
Each mug has a different design on the actual mug, which is stitched on and makes the mug look all the more cuter. Follow along with step by step pictures or watch the video tutorial.
17. christmas team
Source: Anchor Crafts
This trio of Christmas favorites is just everything you would want in a Christmas crochet pattern! There’s a cookie, a traditional British pudding and a hot chocolate cup! These are all the traditional Christmas treats and we crocheters are here for it!
The colors used for these crochet patterns are very traditional and gives all the cosy vibes making it all come together. If you’re not a fan of traditional Christmas colors, just change up the colors.
18. gingerbread cookie
Source: Spin A Yarn Crochet
Another gingerbread ‘man’ ornament but this time as a colorful cookie! This guy has total character and almost looks animated with the eyes and little mouth. I love the little icing decoration on the head of the cookie, it makes me want a real cookie!
19. Gingerbread hearts
Source: Golden Lucy Crafts
Ending on the theme of gingerbread with these gingerbread heart crochet designs. This design has so many variations on the actual heart, the possibilities are endless with this one. I love the different patterns you can do with the stitches on the hearts.
These don’t even have to be gingerbread hearts, just change the color of the heart base and you’ll have lots of different colored hearts. These are 3inches long so they won’t take long to do and the basic crochet stitches are used.
This is our list of Christmas crochet designs and we hope you have found much inspiration from it! As you can see, there are do many different designs and ornaments to make that it will be hard to choose 🙂
