Tags & Embellishments
I love to embellish my crochet items with cute greenery, wooden, and leather screw on tags! The 10 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 Michaels (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 & #2 – Crochet Christmas Ornaments
First up in the line-up of 10 Free Crochet Patterns for Christmas in July are two of my favorite Crochet Christmas Ornament Patterns.
I have three patterns available, two are worked in the round and one is worked in rows, making it easy to pick which method you prefer or mix and match for a beautiful display.
All patterns are stretched over a glass or plastic ball ornament and come in two sizes, which are easy to customize with embellishments of your choice.
# 3 – Quick Crochet Christmas Tree Garland Pattern
Next up, from 10 Free Crochet Patterns for Christmas in July is The Crochet Christmas Tree Garland Pattern.
An 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 in two fun sizes, including a mini (shown in the photo), which is 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.
#5 – The Doorknob Hanging Basket Crochet Pattern
The Doorknob Hanging Basket Pattern is #5 in the Christmas in July 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.
#6 – Mini Crochet Planter Cover Pattern &
#7 – The Picot Placemat Crochet Pattern
We’re on pattern #6, The Mini Crochet Planter Cover Pattern (aka, The Pirouette Planter).
This is such a fun pattern to add around a cute faux tree or planter. Rated advanced beginner, the Mini Crochet Planter Cover Pattern is worked up using basic crochet stitches and comes in three fun sizes.
The pattern calls for Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick, shown is the color Starlight.
The cute vegan leather tags are from Savlabot.
Pattern #7 is The Crochet Picot Placemat Pattern.
This pattern isn’t specific to Christmas, but I love the idea of including it in a Christmas place setting, especially if paired with the mini planter pattern shared above.
The Picot Placemat Pattern is rated advanced beginner, worked in the round, and features a cute picot border.
The pattern comes in two sizes, and is written using size 6 super bulky yarn (Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick) or two strands held together of Bernat Maker. The color shown is Bernat Maker in Clay.
#8 – Crochet Towel Holders 3 Ways
Next up are Crochet Towel Holders!
I love turning this pattern into a seasonal design by adding cute Christmas towels. This pattern works up very quickly and makes the perfect gift or addition to your Winter markets.
Made with Bernat Maker, it’s a beginner-friendly project that comes in three different pattern designs, includes a button closure option, and can be easily adjusted to any length you’d like.
The color shown is Cream.
The cute towels are from Crae Home, a small business founded by two moms. They’re amazing!! Made with a highly absorbent waffle weave Microfiber, that not only look great, but work great too! Grab some now and get 10% off, the discount will be reflected in your cart!!
#9 – The Color Block Basket Pattern
Pattern #9 is The Crochet Color Block Basket Pattern, and it works great as a Christmas gift basket or decorative home decor piece around the holiday season.
Try experimenting with different Christmas or winter colors to create the perfect combinations.
The pattern comes in three sizes and is written using two strands of size 6 super bulky yarn (Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick). The colors shown are Fisherman, Cranberry, and Grass.
#10 – Easy DIY Christmas Wreath
Pattern #10 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.
Shown above is a beautiful loopy garland I found at Hobby Lobby, but I’ve seen similar at Michaels.
This beginner project is so fast and easy, and can be adorned with any florals and greenery you’d like. I have several embellishment options shown in my LTK account here.
