Crochet Some Holiday Cheer this Season!

---

Around this time of year, the holidays start to approach at breakneck pace. But there’s still time to crochet some holiday decorations! Check out these favorite holiday décor crochet patterns to find tons of inspiration. Most of these ideas only use a small amount of yarn, making them perfect scrap-busting projects. And they’re small, so you can get them up in your home right away.

Favorite Holiday Décor Crochet Patterns

O Tannenbaum

I adore this fun, modern take on Christmas tree décor! Made from 15 crocheted spheres, the O Tannenbaum tree is the perfect holiday décor crochet pattern for a mantel, a dresser, or a desk. I love the modern color palette shown here, but you can opt for a more traditional color scheme. Customize the border for a one-of-a-kind decoration.

Holly and Berry Garland

The Holly and Berry Garland will add holiday cheer to any home! String one up across your mantel, as shown here, or make an extra-long garland to go around your tree. Or put it up in your cube at work to add a festive touch to your space. You can go with the traditional Christmas colors seen here, or choose your favorite hues for the pom-poms and beads (this is a great project for stash-busting!).

Chill Snowman

This little frosty friend is oh so sweet! I especially love his cute little headphones to help him tune out the world. If I had to guess, he’s playing his favorite holiday jams! Choose your favorite colors for his accessories and pop him on a shelf to remind you to find joy and relaxation this holiday season.

Holiday Cheer Word Art

Stitch up some cute letters spelling out a festive holiday message—too fun to resist! They’re perfect for a bookshelf, sideboard, or mantel. You could also add a loop of yarn to the tops of the letters and hang them from your tree, or glue the backs to a piece of decorative wood—really, the possibilities are endless for this holiday décor crochet pattern.

Star Flakes

These Star Flakes are so lovely and add a traditional touch to your holiday décor. They work up quickly, so you can make several of each style and put them all around your house. Add a loop at the tops to create ornaments or hang them in windows, or use them as gift tags for lucky friends and family. They’re stiffened with glue, so they’ll hold their shape no matter how you use them.

Santa’s Hanging Around Wreath

Every home needs a wreath or two for the holidays! The festive Santa’s Hanging Around wreath is made entirely of pom-poms, so it’s a fun project to do with kids (creating this piece would make a great day-after-Thanksgiving activity). It takes over 70 pom-poms to make this adorable wreath, so I suggest getting a small pom-pom maker or trying our technique for making pom-poms in bulk.
