Basic Stitches for Christmas Crochet Patterns
Most of these Christmas patterns use basic crochet stitches such as single crochet, but you may substitute other stitches for some patterns, such as the bobble stitch or puff stitch, to give added texture.
Christmas Crochet Pattern Supplies
- All - Most of these Christmas crochet patterns just use a crochet hook and a suitable yarn. Many smaller projects can use up all your scrap yarn. Cotton yarn will show the stitches and details more clearly. Stitch markers are useful when crocheting in rounds. Embroidery scissors are useful for snipping yarn ends.
- Toys will need safety eyes or buttons, or you can substitute an embroidery face which is better for younger kids.
- The toys and ornaments will also need some polyester stuffing.
It is up to you whether you'd like to use traditional Christmas colors such as red and green or add your own personal touch.
