Crochet Pattern: Money Gift Christmas Decoration


The pattern is written in a beginner-friendly way without abbreviations.

A wonderful leftover yarn project is crocheted nativity figures - you can get creative and let your imagination run wild. The figures are about 10 cm tall. That makes them exactly the right size so they’re not too fiddly, but on the other hand they don’t take up too much space either.

You think it’s already too late for that this year? No, if you start now, you’ll definitely still manage the basic set:

  Mary, Joseph, Jesus, ox, donkey, star

If you still have time and feel like it, you can expand your nativity scene. If time is short, simply put the expansion off until next Christmas. Then you can calmly crochet a few figures now and then throughout the year.

As expansion sets, you’ll find the patterns in my shop for
Shepherds, sheep, and Christmas angels
as well as
The 3 kings with camel, elephant, and horse

I hope you have lots of fun with this creative crochet project!

Magical Christmas tree ornaments can be crocheted from small amounts of leftover yarn.
First, there are traditional tree ornaments like
Bell, Angel, Star, Snowflake
You can use cotton or glitter yarn for these, just as you like. Either way, it looks beautiful.

But also
  Rudi the Moose
makes himself comfortable among the branches of your Christmas tree. After Christmas, he can then accompany you as a keychain or bag charm.

The little
Polar Bear Björn
naturally wants to be there too. He also likes hanging in the Christmas tree.

And
 sweet little angels
definitely belong on the Christmas tree too, of course. If you put musical instruments in their hands, you'll have a whole heavenly orchestra hanging in your Christmas tree!

All these tree ornaments can be made with just a few scraps of leftover yarn and also make great gift tags for your Christmas packages.

 
A beautiful, colorful garland of star gnomes decorates the entryway. These little gnomes are quick to crochet and make a great colorful decoration—not just during the Christmas season. You’ll need about 20 g of cotton yarn for one gnome.

These Christmas egg cozies. make a quick little gift. All you need is a few bits of leftover yarn in Christmas colors. Santa, the snowman, and the Christmas angel can decorate your breakfast table as early as the first Sunday of Advent—even if you don’t actually eat eggs for breakfast.

How about a pretty white star? You can decorate with it anywhere—for example, in a Christmas arrangement or as a gift tag. It is crocheted first and then stiffened. That makes it usable anywhere, and it won’t collapse. It can be reused every year.

I hope you enjoy this little handmade project. Yours, Ina
