Tags & Embellishments
I love to embellish my crochet items with cute greenery, wooden and leather screw on tags! The 9 Free Crochet Christmas Patterns include so many patterns, that really lend to using these goodies!!
I recently created a blog post on the different crochet tags I use. The full post with extensive detail can be found here.
– The vegan leather and wooden Christmas themed tags (shown below), are from Savlabot.
– The Ultrasuede and wooden custom logo tags that I use on my non-seasonal items are from Angie & Britt & Grain Deep. Both shops also offer some fun seasonal tag designs.
For the cute embellishments and bells, I used floral picks and greenery from Hobby Lobby and Michael’s (in their Christmas section). I then use wire cutters to disassemble the picks into individual pieces, and then hot glue them in place.
There will be more detailed information in each pattern below.
#1 – Crochet Christmas Ball Ornament | Worked In The Round
First up in, The 9 Free Crochet Christmas Patterns, is The Crochet Christmas Ball Ornament Pattern.
The pattern is worked in the round, stretched over a glass or plastic ball ornament, and then the top is cinched closed. It’s available in two sizes, but is pretty easy to customize.
The pattern is made with the spiked single crochet and rated easy.
The pattern calls for Bernat Maker Yarn, but is very easy to adjust using just about anything. Try using two strands of worsted weight cotton yarn (held together), or follow some of the alternative yarn options I offer in the pattern.
The cute wooden tags are from Savlabot.
#2 – Crochet Christmas Ornaments | Worked In Rows
Secondly, is another Crochet Christmas Ornament Pattern. This was my very first ornament design, that I created a few years ago.
Another beginner friendly pattern, worked in rows, using only single crochet stitches, and then seamed up and stretched around a ball ornament. This pattern comes in two fun sizes.
The pattern calls for Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick. Pictured is the color Starlight.
# 3 – Easy Crochet Christmas Tree Garland Pattern
Next up, from the 9 Free Crochet Christmas Patterns, is The Crochet Christmas Tree Garland Pattern.
Another advanced beginner pattern, but this one kicks your crochet skills up a notch, with the addition of the bobble stitch!
Additionally, the pattern is fully customizable to any length. My go to yarn is Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick. The colors pictured are Starlight, Kale, and Cranberry.
#4 – The Puff Stitch Crochet Stocking Pattern
Fourth in line is The Puff Stitch Crochet Stocking Pattern. Rated advanced beginner, the pattern comes is two fun sizes, including a mini, that’s perfect for holding a gift card and some candy.
One thing I love about this stocking, is it’s worked flat, all in one piece, and then seamed closed. It features the puff stitch, and some other unique stitch designs!
The stocking uses one of my favorite yarns, Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick. The colors pictured are Starlight and Kale.

The Doorknob Hanging Basket Pattern is #5 in the 9 Crochet Christmas Patterns Round-Up!
If you enjoy something a little different, this one is for you. They make the perfect Christmas stocking alternative and can be used year round!
I’ve said it before, but I love this idea for the older kids, especially those living in a dorm room. Just put this cute basket on their doorknob Christmas morning, and then they can take it with them for added storage in their small space, later!
The pattern is worked in the round, using the lemon peel stitch, and is another advanced beginner pattern, using Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick. The color shown is Fossil.

Pattern #9 is such a fun one if you don’t know how to crochet. This DIY Christmas Wreath uses a strand of garland or loopy yarn wrapped around a Styrofoam wreath form.
