Crochet Christmas Gift Ideas | #1 Christmas Ornaments
First up on The Crochet Christmas Gift Ideas list, are crochet Christmas ornaments. Who doesn’t like a beautiful ornament for Christmas?
I took a cake box with a clear window, lined it with gold tissue paper, and put four beautiful crochet ornaments inside. You can adorn the outside however you like. I used wire edged ribbon, a little wooden embellishment (I found everything at Walmart), and a cute to/from gift tag.
Check out this quick YouTube short to see how I created the look above.
I offer two fun crochet Christmas ornament patterns free on the blog. I used the size small patterns (from both patterns below), with an 8x8x4 size cake box. They make many other size boxes, as well as an individual cupcake box, if you only want to gift one ornament.
The Crochet Christmas Ornament Pattern
The Crochet Christmas Ornament Pattern is a 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 are the colors Cranberry, Kale, and Starlight.
The Crochet Christmas Ball Ornament
The Crochet Christmas Ball Ornament 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.
Crochet Christmas Gift Ideas | #2 Mini Crochet Christmas Stockings
Number two in the line-up, are Mini Crochet Christmas Stockings.
These are the perfect size to fit a gift card and a few pieces of candy. I love this idea for a quick gift for teachers, teens, a work gift exchange, etc.
Throw a Starbuck’s or Target gift card in them and add a cute candy cane or sucker, to jazz them up!
See this quick YouTube short for more details.
The Puff Stitch Stocking Pattern
The Puff Stitch Crochet Stocking Pattern is rated advanced beginner and comes is two fun sizes, a mini, and regular.
The pattern is 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.
Crochet Christmas Gift Ideas | #3 Stocking Alternatives
I love using crochet baskets as a stocking alternative. For the photo shown, I used The Doorknob Hanging Basket Pattern.
The great idea about this option is, after Christmas, you have a beautiful gift that can be displayed and used all year long!
Fill them with tradition stocking stuffers, such as candy and little odds and ends. You can easily make them for any age and any theme you like!
Check out this cute YouTube short to see how I filled it up!
The Doorknob Hanging Basket Pattern
I created the Doorknob Hanging Basket Pattern years ago, and I absolutely love it as a stocking alternative! They make the perfect Christmas stocking, but can be used year round.
I love this idea for the older kids, especially those living in a dorm room. Just put the 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.
Crochet Christmas Gift Ideas | #4 Crochet Towel Holders
Next up on the list of 5 Unique Crochet Christmas Gift Ideas, are Crochet Towel Holders.
This one is the gift that keeps on giving, the whole year long!
I love taking something as simple as a crochet towel holder and dressing it up with a cute seasonal towel. Simply tie a ribbon or twine around the set, add a cute gift tag, and you have the perfect, affordable gift, for a teacher, neighbor, friend, etc.
Want to step it up a notch? Add a cute cutting board, soap, kitchen utensils, etc. You can create a beautiful piece for any budget.
See this YouTube short for more details on how to get the look above.
Crochet Towel Holder Pattern
The Crochet Towel Holder Pattern is a beginner friendly project, comes in three unique designs, and is made with Bernat Maker (color shown is Cream).
You can also choose from a button closure option, and customize the length.
The cute towels are from Crae Home, a small business founded by two moms. They’re amazing!! Made with a high absorbent waffle weave Microfiber, that not only look great, but work great too! Grab some now and get 10% off, discount will be reflected in the cart!!
Crochet Christmas Gift Ideas | #5 Crochet Covered Planters
Last up on the list of Unique Crochet Christmas Gift Ideas, are crochet planter covers, filled with beautiful real or faux plants.
This one is a little less obvious as a gift, but my favorite way to gift them is to create a cute place setting at my Christmas table, and letting my guests take the mini planter home. The cute placemat pattern is The Picot Placemat Pattern Free Here.
See this YouTube short, for more details on how to get the place setting look above.
You can also create larger planter covers to gift. Simply add a cute gift tag, and you have the cutest gift for a friend, teacher, or neighbor to display on their desk or in their home!
Mini Crochet Planter Cover (The Pirouette Planter Pattern)
The Mini Crochet Planter Cover Pattern (aka, The Pirouette Planter) is my favorite pattern to use.
It comes in three sizes, is rated advanced beginner, and includes several faux tree sources, that fit perfectly inside the crochet planters.
The pattern calls for Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick, shown is the color Starlight.
The cute vegan leather and wooden tags are from Savlabot.
