Crochet for Christmas 2020

Dear users, dear authors,
if you enjoy crocheting for Christmas , you can download some highlights here.

@Authors:
there’s no limit on the number of posts. Don’t forget to include links, pictures, information, etc.

You can find the following crochet patterns in my shop for the Christmas season...

The little reindeer are perfect as decorations, a nice little gift to bring along, or a small present under the Christmas tree.

   Here’s the pattern

Their big brother is also suitable as a decoration, but can also be made as a toy, music box, or cuddly toy.

   Here’s the pattern

If you’re still looking for something “sweet” for the play shop or doll’s kitchen, you can crochet little cookies from the leftover yarn from the projects above. These can also hang decoratively on the Christmas tree or be used as gift tags.

   Here’s the pattern

And if you’d like to give real sweets as gifts, you can decorate the jars with these lid covers.

   Here’s the pattern

Have fun crocheting and looking forward to Christmas :)

These cute Christmas mice would love to be crocheted by you.
They’re suitable for beginners.
A great decoration or small gift, e.g. as a money gift.

The angel wings are a lovely Christmas decoration, for example on the Christmas tree, on the Advent wreath, or as part of your table decor. But they are also an enchanting symbol of protection all year round and can be used on gifts, on car keys, or on the car's rearview mirror.

The angel wings make a lovely gift for someone you’d like to send on their way with a guardian angel.



Difficulty level: easy, suitable for ambitious beginners with a little practice

You can get the crochet pattern for the angel wings here

You can crochet the snowflakes in 3 designs very easily and quickly from scrubby yarn and use them as tree decorations, on an Advent wreath, as scatter decorations, or as gift tags.

The shiny, smooth fringes of the scrubby yarn reflect every ray of light, making the snowflakes sparkle beautifully.
The scrubby yarn is so shape-retaining that you don’t even need to stiffen or starch the snowflakes.



You can find the crochet pattern for the snowflakes in three designs here

Would you like to take a little virtual Christmas market stroll through Crochet Land? There are so many beautiful things to discover there!


First, we’ll fortify ourselves with a hearty breakfast and get into the Christmas spirit at a beautifully decorated table with these Christmas egg cozies. Santa Claus, the snowman, and the little angel are sure to meet us again at the Christmas market.


Oh, there he is already! Santa Claus is out and about with his sleigh and reindeer and gives you a friendly wave. In his sack he has lots of sweet surprises.
You can also use this Santa Claus decoration very well as an Advent calendar by refilling the sack each day. Since the individual pieces are not firmly attached to each other, they can be decorated differently again and again.


Thelittle fir treesare also great to use as an Advent calendar, because they are hollow inside. You can crochet them in any size you like.



These cute finger puppets are perfect as fillers for the Advent calendar. Frosty the snowman, Santa Claus, and Rudy the moose inspire you to make up and act out exciting Christmas stories.


The moose also appears in this adorable mini door wreath, which is only 12 cm in diameter. It can be crocheted quickly from a few bits of leftover yarn.

 
But Rudy also appears at Christmastime as a keychain or coin purse.

Now we’re off to the nativity section!
If you’d like to have a very special nativity scene for Christmas, you can start crocheting the nativity figures for it now.

It’s best to start with Mary, Joseph, the Christ Child, ox, donkey, and Christmas star.
These are the most important figures. If you still have time and feel like it, you can expand your nativity scene:

Then the shepherds, the sheep, and the Christmas angel are added, and later maybe even

the Three Wise Men with their pack animals: camel, elephant, and horse.
The figures are about 10 cm tall and can be crocheted from leftover yarn you already have, since you need only a very small amount of yarn for each figure.


The heavenly angel orchestra  goes well with the nativity figures in size and style, because the little angels are about 8 cm tall.


If you want to crochet a larger angel as a decoration, you might choose theguardian angel night light. The crocheted angel is placed over an LED lamp and then gives off a gentle light for anyone who doesn’t like falling asleep in the dark. This illuminated angel also looks wonderful as a decoration in the living room.


And these two little angels in the heavenly sphere are also great as Christmas tree ornaments, for example right at the very top of the tree.


The star gnomes can hang there too; they are very easy to crochet, and you can also use lots of colorful leftover yarn for them.


Speaking of Christmas tree ornamentsand leftover yarn: These beautiful ornaments can be crocheted in no time at all from just a tiny bit of sparkly yarn. With this pattern you can crochet a little bell, a star, a snowflake, and an angel.

And under the Christmas tree are the presents.

This year they won’t be wrapped in paper, but in beautiful crocheted gift bags, which can be reused every year. This way you can wrap oddly shaped gifts nicely and do something good for the environment at the same time.


Maybe you’ll decorate your little bags with these pretty crochet appliqués?


So, that’s it! Santa Claus gives you one more wave.
He’s already getting ready for Easter, because this crocheted Santa Claus is an original reversible doll, which you can turn into an Easter bunny by turning it inside out. See for yourself:
