So, grab your crochet hooks, and let's create some holiday magic together!
Granny Xmas Baubles
Get ready to deck your halls with Christmas baubles – it's the perfect time to start! Granny square baubles are a fantastic and fulfilling project for those new to the crochet world. These charming ornaments are created by crocheting two halves and then stitching them together around the middle, just like the equator of a globe. It's also an excellent opportunity to dive into your yarn collection and play with colors. Think festive hues like red, white, and green or vibrant shades you love.
One thing to note about granny patterns is that they often have small gaps due to their design. For this reason, it's a good idea to use styrofoam balls as fillings to maintain the bauble's shape. However, if you're crafting granny patches using single or double crochets without chains, you have more flexibility with fillings. You can even repurpose leftover yarn tails for a more eco-friendly option.
Celtic Stitch Baubles
Yes, we love baubles so much that we’ve brought you another pattern: Alexandra from Eyeloveknots is the designer behind the Celtic Weave Bauble, a stitch pattern that combines double front and back post treble stitches to create a visually stunning geometric surface. While it might require some clever maneuvering with your single-ended crochet hook, the result is a captivating weave-like texture that's sure to impress.
This intriguing pattern is available for free, complete with an instructive video tutorial on eyeloveknots.com. You'll start by crafting rounds of half-double crochets. Once you've got that down, you'll pause, increase, and dive into the Celtic Weave pattern. This involves working pairs of treble crochets in an X stitch, using both the front and back post techniques. For a step-by-step guide on front and back post stitching, check out our recent blog post for a detailed tutorial.
To successfully complete this project, you'll need to be familiar with a crochet decreasing technique. This final step adds the perfect finishing touch to your creation, ensuring your piece is as beautiful as it is intricate.
Amigurumi Xmas Trees
Create a festive and adorable Amigurumi Christmas tree using the fun bobble stitch technique. This pattern for single-ended crochet hooks is perfect for those looking to add a unique and playful touch to their holiday decorations. The bobble stitch provides a fun crafting experience and gives your tree a delightful, three-dimensional texture.
You can make the trees in all sizes as little gifts or even as a life-size Christmas tree which you later decorate with ornaments and light garlands. This delightful pattern has been developed by seeloveshare.it.
Skills Required:
- Crocheting in the round
- Decreasing
- Mastering the bobble stitch
Begin crafting your Amigurumi Christmas tree by crocheting in the round to create a sturdy base. As you progress, integrate bobble stitches into the pattern for a textured look resembling a Christmas tree's lush foliage. Gradually shape your creation by employing decreasing techniques as you approach the top of the tree. Finally, round off your project with a last crochet round, neatly weaving in any loose ends to complete your charming Amigurumi tree.
