35+ Free Crochet Christmas Ornament Patterns

Spread Christmas cheer with crochet ornaments so cute your neighbors will want to steal them off of your tree.

Crochet Christmas Ornaments

The holidays come around every year, and it can be difficult to feel like you aren't doing the same things over and over. Your decorations get hung up before the holidays and then put back in the boxes when they're over. The next year, you go through the exact same process.

If you still buy a real tree every year like I do, then it makes sense that the ornaments on it should also be new. Even if you put together a fake Christmas tree (don't worry, I won't tell), it still deserves to have some brand new touches added to it as the years go by.

You can make this possible by working up some handmade Christmas ornaments that are sure to light up the room. Spread Christmas cheer not by singing loud for all to hear, but by learning how to make Christmas ornaments instead. Your tree will be good as new no matter if it's freshly cut or not, all because of your crochet skills and your love of the holidays.

With this collection of free crochet Christmas ornament patterns, we wanted to bring back some of your favorite crochet patterns from the past while still giving you new patterns to work up, too. For instance, if you loved the Crocheted Christmas Baubles, then you should try out the Pretty Poinsettia Christmas Ornament.  It's that simple! This way you can have all of your favorite classic Christmas decorations as well as new things to try if you're feeling adventurous.

PLUS! If you're new to crocheting in the round, the idea of a crochet ball ornament might be intimidating. Follow along with this easy video tutorial to see how it's done. You'll have a classic and timeless Crochet Christmas Ball Ornament in no time!

Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

I know were barely past Halloween but I have to confess to pulling up Christmas music on my Pandora account. Ive already worked a few of the ornaments in this stellar collection, so I was happy to see my old friends again. Everyone appreciates new ornaments, and best of all, you dont have to limit them to just a tree. They make great additions to packages, too.

I don't know whether to thank you or smack you for posting this book. I swore to myself that I would not make any Christmas decorations until I had my crochet gifts done. Then I saw this. I was just going to down load it for now. Then I saw the cute box of ornaments. I can't resist. Thank you!
