With less than six weeks until Christmas, the idea of starting any big projects has gone out the window. Don’t stress though, we’ve rounded up 15 of the best crocheted Christmas decorations you can whip up in an afternoon, and they’re all free! Get out your stash and get ready to turn your home into a wintry grotto!
Crochet Ribbon Christmas Tree
We love the unusual look of these trees made simply by creating a ribbon and folding it over crocheted baubles! It’s a great project for using up oddments of yarn, too.
Poppy & Bliss
Chain Loop Snowflake
Just look at how delicate this little snowflake is! It is intended as a gift topper, but it’s so easy to make you could easily string a handful together to create a wintry garland.
Better Homes and Gardens
Chocolate Orange Cosies
The best things come in threes, just like these adorable reindeer, robin and Christmas pudding chocolate orange gift covers. You could always put a real orange inside, but we’d be happier with the chocolate.
Love Crochet
Desk Top Christmas tree
The beauty of this project is its simplicity, so it’s a great way for beginners to get into holiday crafting. It’s great for any green yarn you have laying around, plus you can use up old buttons as decorations!
Pops de Milk
Cosy Mitten Garland
We love the whimsical look of this garland, and it’s made with real mittens, which you could remove from the decoration and give as gifts next year.
Caught on a Whim
Simple Snowman
This pattern is perfect for inexperienced crocheters as it is almost entirely worked in double crochet stitch, plus you can learn double crochet decreasing.
Repeat After Me
Colourful Christmas Trees
The mini pom-pom instructions alone would be great, but these merry and bright stripy trees look great and it would be easy to make several of them in an afternoon.
My Poppet
Rudolph the Cubic Reindeer
There’d be no Christmas without Rudolph, and we’re in awe of this little project. It’s straightforward and adorable to boot! Why not make eight black-nosed reindeer and one with a red nose?
Pops de Milk
What a Hoot!
Seriously, how much cuter can it get than an owl in a Santa hat? All the components are made up separately then stitched together, and it’s much more simple than it looks!
Double Treble Trinkets
Crocheted Christmas Baubles
These ornaments are made to fit around 5cm polystyrene balls, but you could easily stuff them with scraps of yarn to minimise waste.
Sofia Sobeide
The Grinch Decoration
There are two types of people when it comes to Christmas; the Cindy-Lou Whos and the Grinches. Which one are you?
Sewrella
Yummy Brussels Sprouts
These little crochet veggies would make a great novelty gift or could even be put on the dinner table at Christmas lunch!
Made Out of Things
Gingerbread Amigurumi
Don’t be put off by the word amigurumi, the pattern is as friendly as the finished product!
Sweet Nut Creations
Christmas Wreath
The festive season wouldn’t be complete without a leafy wreath. This surprisingly realistic yarn version is perfect for adorning the inside of your home.
Planet June
Mr Claus
We’ve saved the best for last with this festive creation ‒ Santa with his sack of presents, and it’s the perfect size to hide trinkets in!
