The
gift bags for St. Nicholas Day or Christmasalmost crochet themselves; they’re great to work on casually in front of the TV or while chatting over coffee. They’re worked in the round without increases or decreases, and the pattern is created by a gradient yarn cake. I crocheted the top edge with plush yarn, which makes the little bags look even more Christmassy. You can decide the size of the bags yourself.
Crochet yourself a whole row of these gift bags in different sizes. No more stress wrapping oddly shaped gifts! And the best part: you can reuse the bags every year. This helps you avoid packaging waste and do something good for the environment.
Small colorful star gnomes can be crocheted quickly and easily from leftover yarn and tied together to make a cheerful Christmas garland. One of these little gnomes is also something completely different as the top star on the Christmas tree. Decorate your packages with the colorful gnomes or hang them in the window! Reduce your yarn stash this way and give others a little Christmas joy!

These
Christmas ornaments are quick to crochet and make lovely decorations for the Christmas tree or your Christmas packages. You can also make them as photo frames and present a pretty family picture in them. There are no limits to your imagination when embellishing and decorating the ornaments: use sequins, beads, colorful ribbons, stars, and little bells—whatever you like!
