The holidays are on the horizon and that means it’s time to start getting the fake Christmas tree (we don't judge) down from the attic (or heading to the lot to pick out a freshly cut tree), dusting off the ornaments, and maybe even heading to the craft closet to begin DIYing your Yuletide decor. If you’re like us and you can’t get enough of homemade decorations, you know that some of the most fun (and adorable) holiday craft projects you can create this time of the year are crocheted Christmas ornaments. Yep, not only do they look fabulous on your tree or mantel, indoors or outside, but they’re an absolute blast to make. That’s why we’re collected the following free crochet patterns, which include projects for newbies, on up to the seriously skilled.

Get your hooks primed and ready, because we’ve got crochet ideas for your tree depicting everything from classic characters like Santa and Rudolph, to cheery icons such as bells, baubles, and bulbs. So go ahead, curl up on the couch in front of a roaring fire, put on your favorite Christmas tunes or movie, and start crocheting away to your heart’s content. Because there isn’t anything as homey and comfortable as crocheting, and there are few Christmas ornaments that will mean as much to your family as the ones you’ve made with your very own hands. And while you're in the crafting mood, check out our favorite crochet Christmas stocking patterns too!
