Fun Christmas Crochet Patterns - lots of free ideas!

This crochet patterns are all free – or part of them are free and they DO link to “sets of patterns” on Etsy. So if you want to create more or “thank” the crocheter who has shared these with us.. do head over and purchase some of their patterns too! They would be really chuffed.

Can’t crochet? Teach yourself to crochet with this practical learning guide!

Time to grab your crochet hooks, some yarn in different colors and get making! Woohoo! Most of these patterns are based on single crochet and double crochet, so are great for beginners too. They often use worsted weight yarn and of course you can play around with the color options too! A great way to customise your DIY Christmas Crochet to suit your decor or the friend you are gifting too!

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!
