Last minute Christmas Crochet Decorations and gift ideas.

T’is the Season to be jolly, and what better way to get you in the Christmas spirit than a collection of fun and festive Christmas crochet patterns.

I hate to admit it but I am a “Last minute” ball of stress at Christmas.

It doesn’t matter how organised I am there’s always “one last” gift to buy (usually a Teacher or neighbour) and my mind goes blank with ideas, I can almost hear my purse strings sigh “no more”.

Christmas isn’t about making ourselves stressed/broke though, I am a big fan of Handmade and luckily we all (well if you’re reading this) have at least one skill under our belts….we can crochet!

We don’t know how lucky we are, we can create an inexpensive yet priceless gift straight from the heart and not on the high street! WIN WIN!!

However, if you’re super savvy, have shopped till you’ve dropped and all of your gifts are now neatly wrapped under your tree! I salute you!

I still have some last minute decorations to get your HO HO HOOKS into that you are going to adore!

Flat just like a real gingerbread man cookie! It’s also very easy to make and requires minimal sewing because its crocheted continuously from joining the two legs to making the body and head. It can be an additional ornament on your Christmas tree or just hang it anywhere in the house

The best part about these totes bags is that they all use a basic base pattern. You will just need to change colours in different spots and each tote has it’s own unique embellishments.

I present to you the Starflower Snowflake pattern. The patternis a quick 3 round design which can be made using absolutely any yarn of your size.

Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a Christmas pudding, right? So why not have them hanging from your tree? This little Christmas pudding tree decoration, uses traditional themed colours, is suitable for beginners and can be hung anywhere in the home to decorate, not just on the tree!

Here’s a quick and very easy candy cane to crochet. With just 2 rows of single crochet stitches, this crochet pattern is perfect for a beginner. A glue and water mixture then help the candy canes keep their shape. Once completed they are about 8 inches tall and 3 inches wide.

These make great gifts for teachers, neighbors, or anyone on your list. Make them in the traditional red and white, or mix it up and go for fun, colourful coasters. 

This Santa Gnome is part of my ongoing collaboration with Lion Brand Yarn, and is part of their 12 Weeks of Christmas extravaganza, where several of my favorite designers share crochet and knit projects that you can make in the weeks leading up to the holidays. 

Looking for a super simple and quick crochet project for the holidays? These Christmas Character Fingerless Gloves are the perfect project that you can complete in less than an hour! I am providing the patterns for the Gingerbread Man and the Snowman versions but just by changing the colour and embellishments you can make other versions too! Santa, Elf, Grinch, and more!

Forget the Christmas jumper, these days it’s all about the Crochet Christmas Hat. And who can resist this cute Christmas Pudding Beanie, complete with holly sprig and berries?  

sock weight yarn and 2.5 mm hook, Rudy is around 4.5 inches tall. As the pattern only uses basic stitches (if you know how to make a magic ring, single crochet stitch, increase and decrease, you’re set to go!) and is relatively quick to make, this amigurumi will make a great Christmas
