One of my favorite parts of the holidays is decorating … from decking the halls to trimming the tree and of course setting a beautiful holiday table. Crocheted items add an extra bit of warmth and charm to any holiday decor. Here are a bunch of my favorite Christmas crochet ideas … and you may even find some gift inspiration too!

Deck the Halls
Crochet up this trio of Christmas trees for your mantel or tablescape. You can make them as written or add your own creative touches and embellishments. Stitch up this beautiful lace angel to complete the scene.
Add these whimsical peppermint swirl coasters to your side table for a an inviting place to sit for a cup of cocoa.
Hang those stockings with care … work up a handmade set of Christmas stockings. Choose from a pretty fair isle stocking or classic evergreen stocking design.
Trim the Tree
You can never have enough ornaments for your Christmas tree! Crochet up some classic lace snowflakes or dainty lace baubles. Or perhaps these little woodland trees or granny stars are more your style. And if you’d like to let your kids in on the fun, these little wreaths and yarn ball ornaments are perfect for your little crafters. Grab some metallic crochet thread to make this Star of Bethlehem ornament to add some shine.
And last but not least … complete your tree with a charming Christmas tree skirt! Make this easy granny hexagon Christmas tree skirt or choose this center star Christmas tree skirt.
Set the Table
There’s nothing like gathering around the table for the holidays. These jute crochet place mats and burlap and lace napkin settings add such a charming and cozy touch. Finish off each setting with a pretty lace edged napkin.
Of course no table is complete without a beautiful runner like this whimsical snowflake table runner. Best of all, you can keep it out all season long!
Don’t Forget Your Hostess!
Bring along a little something for your holiday hosts … a nice bottle of wine in this Santa wine tote is always a hit … add some quick and easy beaded wine glass charms for an extra wow!
And don’t forget about clean up … that duty is never fun. Help make the task a bit easier with this festive peppermint scrubby or fun set or ornament scrubbies.

I can’t find the pattern for the lacy ornaments. Would love to make them. Can you send me the patterns to both of them.
On your Christmas tree skirt with granny squares…I am trying to figure out how you got 12 stitches when unless you are not counting the chain 3 between each set of 3 doubles. Total number I have when done with on square is 165 not the 136 you have on your pattern. Please explain.
