Here are the free patterns. Happy Christmas crocheting!
1. Christmas Tissue Box – Free Crochet Pattern
The first crochet Christmas idea is this very festive Christmas Tissue Box Cover. While decorating for Christmas this year and after unloading bin after bin of Christmas decorations and placing them everywhere, my husband said to me: “You know what really makes the house feel like Christmas?” It’s your Santa Tissue Box Covers. I never noticed how unfestive our Kleenex boxes were before!”
Get your tissue boxes ready for the holidays or make them as a unique Christmas gift.
2. Christmas Dog Bandana – Free Crochet Pattern
Whenever we have company over, Charlie likes to wear a bandana. For fancy occasions, he wears his Tuxedo Dog Bandana. But during the holidays, we never really had anything festive for him to wear…that is until I designed this Christmas Dog Bandana. This pattern can be made for cats or dogs of any size.
Now he is all decked out for Christmas! It’s a really fun free pattern for the Santa Paws in your life.
3. Mrs. Claus Pet Bandana
But what about the Mrs. Paws in your life?!? Take a look at this new Mrs. Claus Pet Bandana!
4. Christmas Baby Booties – Free Crochet Pattern
Add this free Christmas Baby Booties pattern to your list of free Christmas crochet patterns for babies! What I love about this Christmas Baby Boots pattern is that they can be worn on a baby or used as a Christmas decoration. When it was my daughter’s first Christmas, they kept her little feet nice and cozy (and festive) and now that she’s not as little of a baby anymore, we fill them with candy canes.
5. Christmas Mug Cozy – Free Crochet Pattern
This may be the ultimate “gift for anyone” pattern. This Christmas Mug Cozy makes such a great gift for a teacher, co-worker, friend or loved one. You can fill it with goodies to complete the gift. Or, use it to keep your own coffee and tea warm during the holidays. It’s also a wonderful decoration/candy cane holder! Add this pattern to your “easy Christmas crochet patterns for beginners” list because it’s very simple and quick to make.
6. Christmas Tree Hat – Free Crochet Pattern
This free Crochet Christmas Tree Hat pattern is an easy-to-follow pattern for a Christmas Tree Hat. The free pattern includes step-by-step instructions to make this hat for a toddler, child/kid and adult so the whole family can wear one this holiday season! We wore ours for our Christmas card last year and throughout the whole month of December!
7. Christmas Wine Glass Holder/Lanyard – Free Crochet Pattern
If you’re going to any Christmas parties this holiday season, it’s very fun to wear this Christmas Wine Glass Lanyard around your neck to hold your wine glass for you!
This is a great gift for any wine drinker in your life. I’ve made wine glass lanyard for all my friends and their reaction was priceless!
But you can also make it without the straps and put one on each wine glass when you set the table for Christmas dinner. Martha Stewart would be so proud! If you have been searching for easy Christmas crochet gifts, you’ll love this Christmas Wine Glass Holder.
8. Christmas Can Cozy – Free Crochet Pattern
Designed to fit a standard 12 fl. oz / 355ml beer, soda or pop can, this Christmas Can Cozy is sure to bring Christmas Cheers! While you can make this for anyone, it’s a great gift idea for men. My husband uses his all holiday season long. When you have a holiday party and are handing out beers to everyone, these cozies turn a regular can into a festive drink!
9. Crochet Christmas Pillow – Free Pattern
This easy Crochet Christmas Pillow will make your home much more festive. The pillow panels are made by alternating single crochet and double crochet stitches so it’s very easy to make, works up quickly and looks lovely when completed. It’s a removable cushion cover so you can take it off to wash or to easily store it in your Christmas bin after the holidays.
10. Christmas Toilet Paper Holder – Free Crochet Pattern
After turning all my Kleenex boxes into festive holiday decorations, I found the bathroom to be lacking festivity – especially with that extra roll of toilet paper that’s always good to be left out. And so I created this Christmas Toilet Paper Holder! Now you can deck your hall bathroom with this very festive Christmas decoration!
11. Christmas Cutlery Holder – Free Crochet Pattern
This free crochet pattern for a Christmas Cutlery Holder (you could also call it a utensil/napkin holder or a cutlery pouch) will make your table look incredibly festive for Christmas dinner! Add this to your collection of quick free Christmas crochet patterns. You can whip up a few before the end of your favorite Christmas movie and then enjoy a picture-worthy dinner table on Christmas!
