The holidays are a joyous time to spend with your friends and family, but if you have a big family it might be very overwelming to think of what gifts to get them. Crochet gift ideas are the way to go this year. Make your crochet Christmas gifts; homemade gifts are the greatest. What I like best about crochet gift ideas is that you can make them at your leisure; sit in front of the TV, watch a movie, crochet while riding the train. If you make your own crochet Christmas gifts then you don't have to wait in those stingy lines with all the crabby customers.


Free Christmas crochet patterns like the ones we're about to dive into, are great for just about anyone. Michael Sellick of The Crafting Crowd has put together some fabulous videos on crochet gift ideas you can make your loved ones. We will be updating this page until we work our way up to the 12 crochet Christmas gifts. If we gave you them all at once that would spoil all the fun! Check back often to see the remaining crochet gift ideas.
