There’s something extra special about handmade and crochet Christmas decorations. I love the excitement of decorating the house for the Festive period and it always sparks inspiration to make gorgeous Christmassy things.
No matter whether we put our decorations up in November or just a few days before Christmas, there’s time to add some more crocheted decorations or to give them as gifts.
This year with our darling crazy kitten tearing around the house causing chaos, we aren’t risking putting up a tree or anything dangly and tangly AT ALL! But we definitely need some non breakable, non tangle, gorgeously festive decorations. I think crochet Christmas decorations will be perfect, don’t you?
I asked my Crochet Designer friends for their gorgeous crochet Christmas decoration patterns to get the best inspiration and so I could write this post to share it with you. All photos are shared here with the Designers permission and include the link to their free pattern.
These crochet Christmas decorations are all free crochet patterns are fun crochet projects to make! I’m sure you’ll find the perfect crochet Christmas pattern inspiration amongst these super crochet patterns by Independent Crochet Designers.
If you’d like to crochet a Christmas Tree, I made a separate post for crochet Christmas Tree patterns, check it out, if you haven’t already, there’s some adorably cute ones that are irresistible!
