Easy Crochet Christmas Ornaments

These adorable crochet Christmas tree ornaments are so simple to make, you’ll be able to whip up the whole set together in no time! These are perfect for an advanced beginner and beyond.

You only need to know how to crochet a few simple crochet stitches to complete these crochet Christmas baubles: chain, single crochet stitches, and half double crochet stitches. You will also need to know how to make a magic ring, change colors, and decrease.

For the yarn, we are using worsted weight yarn. I used acrylic yarn from my scrap yarns I had leftover but cotton yarn would be a good choice as well.

Crochet Christmas Set

I’ve been completing a lot of “sets” lately, my last one being a Christmas plushie set. I also did a whole Christmas pillow set last year. The coincidental thing is, all three sets can go together! I have a snowman, Santa Claus, Elf, and Gingerbread for each set. You will find all the patterns listed below.

All of these crochet patterns would be great all together either for gifting or decorating!
