A little bit about Crochet to Play
In case you haven’t explore Crochet to Play’s work before, she has a host of ridiculously cute crochet patterns – including many Christmas Crochet Patterns. Do check out her Etsy shop, where for a small fee, you can download many of these patterns, and in doing so, you are supporting the work of an independent crafter and artist.
If you are REALLY excited by her work, I HIGHLY recommend this brand new Christmas/ Winter Hedgehog Kit! Everything you need to make this adorable Amigurumi hedgehog. This would make a wonderful crafty Christmas present for someone, I am sure. It comes complete with everything you need to make the hedgehog:
- Yarn in just the right colour (no hunting around for that beautifully textured two tone wool)
- Safety eyes in exactly the right size
- Stuffing
- Hook, needle and even a stitch marker!
- ..and of course the pattern
Such a great gift and from an independent small business. Remember – every time you order form a small business they do a little happy dance!! Unlike the large amazons on the world.. you can make a difference and purchase a unique and beautiful gift too.
Right. Now, is it time for the Crochet Mitten Garland Pattern? If you are looking for that Crochet Christmas Garland Pattern, then I do think this definitely one to try! So cute!

General Tips when making this Christmas Crochet:
• The mittens are worked in continuous rounds. Use a stitch marker at the beginning of
every round to keep your place.
• Before attaching thumb to mitten, use straight pins to secure. This way you can adjust
as needed and place it exactly where you want it before sewing. Just make sure to remove the pins when you’re done!
Basic Mitten Pattern:
This pattern is for a basic crochet mitten. Once you have got the hang of it, you can make it in lots of different colors, add stripes or sew on other details, to make lots of cute mitten pairs!
You’ll be working in continuous rounds towards the opening of the mitten, which will have a
ribbed edge. You’ll then add the “thumb”.

Crochet Mitten Thumb Pattern:

Use yarn needle to sew thumb to mitten. When making pairs of mittens, make sure to sew thumbs on opposite sides.
