Heavenly quick and really easy to crochet, these cute angels or little bells are great to make even at the last minute. Perfect for using up leftover yarn.

You can use the ornaments as tree decorations, gift tags, décor for the Advent wreath, table decorations, etc.

Here’s the pattern for the little bells

The cute little trees and stars fly off your hook so quickly that you’ll have conjured up a whole little forest, complete with a starry sky, in no time.

You can use them as tree ornaments, gift tags, decorations for an Advent wreath, or table decor. Or place them as a wreath around a few candles, and you’ll have your own modern Advent decoration.

You can easily crochet the little trees with or without a loop. They are very easy and quick to crochet—so they are absolutely suitable for beginners.

looks amazing!

Still need some decorations for the Christmas tree? Or a few pretty gift tags? Even with Christmas just around the corner, that’s no problem, because these tags can be crocheted in no time from a few leftovers of yarn (glitter yarn or cotton yarn). You’ll get patterns for 4 different designs: a bell, a star, an angel and a snowflake! It’s fun and quick

Often, you need a small gift or token of appreciation on the spur of the moment. Grab an empty jam jar and fill it with any kind of tasty treat! And a knitting (or, if you prefer, crocheting) snowman is just the thing to decorate the lid! You can crochet one quickly using some white yarn. A scrap of sock yarn is all you need for the hat and scarf. And the knitting needles? Just two toothpicks!

These star decorations are quick and easy to crochet, even for beginners. They can be used to embellish other knitted or crocheted projects. They also look great as tree or window hangings and as table scatter.

Mini Reindeer “Jonny” Crochet Pattern
Click here to go directly to the crochet pattern

Jonny, the cute little reindeer, is waiting for you to crochet him! Especially now during Advent and the Christmas season, people are often on the lookout for small gifts, and Jonny is perfect for that. Whether as a keychain, tree ornament, or bag charm, he always looks great and puts a smile on everyone’s face ;-) . What you’ll need:

• Approx. 10g of brown/beige yarn, suitable for a size 1.5 crochet hook (e.g., “Manuela” by Schoeller & Stahl). Scraps of red and dark brown yarn for the nose and antlers, also suitable for a size 1.5 hook.
• A darning needle and scissors
• 1.5 mm crochet hook
• stitch marker
• stuffing
• Googly eyes and/or leftover black yarn for embroidering the face
• Keyring or string for hanging.

Difficulty level: Easy; however, because of the small crochet hook, you should already have experience working on larger projects and be confident in crocheting single crochet stitches in the round. You should also be able to create a magic ring, increase and decrease stitches, and sew on individual pieces. The crochet pattern is 13 pages long and includes plenty of pictures. I won’t leave you in the lurch when it comes to sewing on the individual pieces either ;-)

Reindeer Egg Cup Crochet Pattern

• Scraps of light brown yarn (for the antlers), also suitable for a 2mm hook
• Scraps of red yarn (for the nose), also suitable for a 2mm hook
• 2mm crochet hook
• 6mm safety eyes
• stuffing
• Scissors, darning needle, stitch markers

Difficulty level: Easy. You should be familiar with the following techniques: making a magic ring, increasing and decreasing single crochet stitches, attaching the different pieces, single crochet, slip stitches, chain stitches, and half double crochet. The crochet pattern is 18 pages long and includes step-by-step photos showing every step. I also show you how to attach the pieces in the photos.
