Christmas is coming faster than you think! Today I’m sharing a few Christmas patterns from my shop that are easy enough even for beginners. They can all be crocheted using small amounts of leftover yarn you already have on hand.

Aren’t these colorful
star gnomes cute? With a gnome like this as a gift tag, your Christmas package is sure to feel even more personal. You can also crochet several gnomes and hang them as a colorful garland in the window or on the Christmas tree.
Christmas tree ornaments are a great project to make from leftover yarn. Depending on the yarn you use, they can have an elegant or rustic look. Following this pattern, you can crochet four different ornaments—which, by the way, also make excellent gift tags: a bell, an angel, a star, and a snowflake.

These
festive crochet appliqués are a great project for beginners because they’re very easy and quick to make. You’re sure to have leftover yarn in the right colors at home, so you can get started right away!
