Free Christmas Crochet Patterns

As mentioned, these are all FREE Crochet Patterns, but a few of these are part of “sets” – so for example the super duper cute mini stocking pattern is FREE.. but if you want to make the little amigurumi crochet animals to go with them, they need to be purchased on Esty. However, they are not expensive patterns and you are REALLY helping a creator out by giving them a small commission and supporting their own going work by doing so. So hopefully this is a win win for all!
