Christmas Motifs Crochet for Beginners
Are you a complete beginner in crochet or already a real pro? At Crazypatterns you'll find patterns for every level of difficulty. Very easy and ideal for beginners are, for example, Christmas placemats or a scarf, as simple stitches and basic crochet skills are usually enough here.
You need more crochet know-how for crocheted accessories and decorations that are made up of several pieces. For example, Christmas cots, door wreaths or extensive Advent arrangements. Just follow the instructions in the crochet patterns for Christmas motifs to avoid getting overwhelmed at the beginning or to get new ideas even if you are a professional.
Pot holders for baking biscuits
For many, the classic potholder is the first thing to crochet. Simple stitches and a square shape make it very easy to get started. At the beginning it can be one colour, later patterns and Christmas motifs may make the potholder even more exciting. Potholders in a Christmas design are ideal for baking.
Tip: Hot biscuit trays can only be touched safely with a crocheted oven mitt if you use thick yarns and crochet them in tight stitches so that you don't burn your fingers.
Placemats and table runners
Much larger, but just as simple, are placemats and table runners that are suitable for setting a festive table. Crochet a whole set of four or six place mats. In the middle of the table, a beautiful table runner becomes an eye-catcher. You can combine it with Christmas decorations, for example candles, incense burners or other Christmas items.
Tablecloths for the Christmas menu
If your table is no longer visually suitable for the festive menu at Christmas, you can also cover it completely with a tablecloth. Use a suitable crochet pattern for a tablecloth that fits the size of your table. The tablecloth should be slightly larger than the table so that it falls loosely over the sides and ends.
Christmas Cushion Covers
There are matching covers for most loose sofa cushions. Alternatively, you can decorate the cushions with Christmas crochet covers. For example, with poinsettias, reindeer, snowmen or Christmas angels. Our patterns for Secret Santa cushions are also very popular. You can also embellish the cushion covers with beautiful buttons.
Secret Santa cups as Santa boots
Instead of putting your shoes outside the door on St. Nicholas Day, you can also make beautiful Secret Santa cups. These crocheted cups are ideal for filling and giving as gifts, but they are also great for decorating your table or dresser. Alternatively, you can store pens or crochet hooks in the Secret Santa cups.
Snowflakes, snowman or Christmas trees
Winter motifs, such as the snowman or small and large snowflakes, are always appropriate for Christmas. Use the crochet patterns for Christmas motifs from Crazypatterns to create the best motifs for your home. For example, you can place snowflakes on the table as decoration, hang them on doors or fir branches as pendants or use them as window decorations.
A beautiful snowman also makes a great window decoration. A black hat, a broom in his hand and a carrot on his face are a must. Crocheted fir trees are also popular at Christmas. You can crochet them naturally in green or turn them into real Christmas trees with colourful Christmas balls and stars.
Christmas Keychains
Never look for your keys again? Simply equip your keys with an eye-catching fob. In keeping with Christmas, it can be designed as a reindeer, star or other Christmas motif. It will quickly catch your eye and you won't have to look for your keys for long.
Advent calendar to fill
Instead of the same chocolate calender or an expensive version with perfume, toys or similar entertaining things, you can crochet a creative advent calendar to fill yourself. Use our crochet instructions for Christmas to design the calendar of your choice. Depending on who you want the calendar to be for, you can fill it with sweet or savoury treats, hide small vouchers in it or even put small books, poems and other things inside. A creative idea for the calendar is, for example, to hang strings on the wall. Small, fillable secret santa clauses are then hung on these.
Loop, scarf or socks with Christmas motifs
Scarves, loops or socks with Christmas motifs are quick to knit and therefore ideal as a lightning gift. Why not make a quick gift when you don't have time to go shopping? Socks, scarves or loops in red or black, possibly with a Christmas motif (e.g. star, reindeer), can be made into a personalised gift in no time at all.
Crochet Christmas Motifs for Advanced Users
Do you already have a lot more crochet experience? Then our crochet patterns for Christmas motifs with a higher level of difficulty are better suited for you. Here you'll find creative ideas that require a little more crochet know-how.
Crochet Sleigh with Reindeer
A crocheted sleigh filled with presents and pulled by reindeer, for example, is suitable as a complete table decoration. This decoration is not only suitable for placing on the table, but also for the chest of drawers.
Christmas Amigurumi
So-called amigurumi are a popular trend from Japan. These little figures with their big, round heads and cute googly eyes are very reminiscent of the anime and manga figures that are so trendy in Japan. You can crochet amiguri for almost any theme, and you'll also find numerous knitted variations on offer here at Crazypatterns.
For example, how about little Santas, Secret Santa, elves or other cute Christmas characters? For more stability, crochet the Amigurimis with very tight stitches and then fill them with cotton wool or granules. This way you can put them upright after crocheting and use them as decorative figures.
Enchanting angels in all variations
Angels come in numerous variations. Their uses are just as varied. For example, you can crochet them as egg warmers, hang them on the Christmas tree or use them as window decorations. Angels are very popular for tea light holders or simply to stand on. With a whole collection of angels, you can quickly decorate your home for Christmas.
Nativity figurine set for the Christian feast
Christmas is a Christian festival, even if many people no longer celebrate it against this background. A set of nativity figures tells the Christmas story from the Christian point of view and is therefore ideal for all families who regard Christmas as a religious festival.
Christmas Express Train
A nice idea for crocheting is the Christmas express train. You can vary its length and put together as many compartments as you like to make a whole train arrangement.
Socks and baby shoes with Christmas motifs
Are you still looking for a suitable gift for your newborn grandchild or for nieces and nephews? Then why not create a pair of beautiful socks or baby shoes with Christmas motifs. The small sizes are very quick to make, so you can crochet several pairs at once. You can download many crochet patterns for Christmas motifs here at Crazypatterns.
Doorstop as Secret Santa, Father Christmas or Elf
Doorstops prevent a door from slamming loudly in a breeze. You can prevent this with a crocheted doorstop. In keeping with Christmas, the doorstop can be in the shape of a Secret Santa, a Christmas elf or Father Christmas, preferably with a funny face.
Christmas scarves and hats
Instead of knitwear to wear, you can also give crocheted items such as chic scarves and hats as gifts. The thicker the yarn, the warmer the crocheted piece. You can decorate them with funny Christmas motifs or with pom-poms and similar details. Make sure you use skin-friendly yarns for the garments that will be worn directly on the skin.
Advent arrangements and door wreaths
First 1, then 2, then 3 and 4, now the Christ Child is at the door. Advent arrangements with four candles indicate the time until Christmas Eve. One candle is lit each Advent. Advent wreaths made of fir branches with candles are the classic variations, but you can also make your own with our crochet patterns for Christmas motifs.
Door wreaths are made in a similar way to Advent arrangements, but without candles and with Christmas decorations instead. For example, a door wreath is ideal for the entrance door, so that a Christmas atmosphere is created as soon as you enter.
Crochet Christmas Lanterns
No festive atmosphere without candles. To make candlelight stand out even more, you can crochet Christmas lanterns. These can be combined with tea lights or artificial lights and are quick and easy to make thanks to our crochet patterns for Christmas motifs from Crazypatterns.
Tip: For safety reasons, keep enough distance between the candle flame and the crochet yarn.
Materials for crocheting Christmas motifs
To crochet Christmas motifs, you need some basic equipment, which consists of the following items.
- Crochet yarn in different colours and thicknesses
- Set of crochet hooks in different sizes
- Sewing needles to join individual pieces together
- Hot glue or craft glue for eyes and other details
To make our crochet patterns for Christmas motifs, we recommend that you buy a whole set of crochet hooks and yarns in your favourite colours. Vary the patterns, motifs, yarn thickness and colours to make the pattern just the way you want it.
