Crochet Christmas ornaments and handmade holiday decorations are such a quick and easy way to add charm to your tree and give your home a warm and cozy holiday vibe. There’s something magical about creating decorations with your own two hands – it really gets me into the holiday spirit and every ornament becomes a tiny treasure that can be cherished for years to come.
Whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or just getting started with your hooks and yarn, these festive projects are perfect for crafters of all skill levels. Most can be completed in an evening or two while you’re cozied up with a cup of hot cocoa and your favorite holiday movie. Plus, working with festive yarns in rich reds, sparkling metallics, and wintery whites is sure to get you in the holiday spirit!
I’ve pulled together some of my favorite crochet ornament patterns here to give you some holiday inspiration! From classic baubles to whimsical snowflakes, and even some adorable mini Christmas trees – there’s something here for every style of holiday decor. And don’t forget the folks on your gift list this holiday season … these festive crochet ornaments are not only great for adorning packages or giving as gifts, but they’re also an eco-friendly alternative to store-bought decorations.

These angels also make great Christmas gifts or can even be used as a tree topper for a small tree.

You can hang them on your tree individually or string up a whole garland of these sweet treats!
Crochet Christmas Tree Ornament
This Christmas tree crochet pattern works up quickly with some basic stitches and makes a wonderfully whimsical little tree to add to your decor whether hanging on your tree or displayed on a shelf. Best of all, you can work up this tree pattern in any weight yarn and hook size you have on hand and crochet it to any size you desire! Try it in lace weight, DK, or worsted weight yarn for a varied array.
Wreath Ornament
I love this wreath crochet pattern because it is a quick and easy project that is perfect for beginners. It is worked in only single crochet and half double crochet. It also provides a great opportunity to get the kids involved in holiday crafting and gift-giving. You crochet ’em up, and let the kids take it from there and add embellishments! Try sequence, buttons, bows, basic embroidery, and more!
Granny Star ornament
Granny patterns are classics when it comes to crochet, and these granny star tree ornaments are especially perfect for Christmas! Gather up some scrap yarn and make a bunch of granny star ornaments in various color combinations.
Crochet snowflake ornaments
Create a winter wonderland inside with this beautiful dainty snowflake pattern or one of the other snowflake designs in the collection. And when Christmas is over, you can take them off your tree and hang them around your house to enjoy all winter long. Work them up in lace-weight yarn or take a different spin on the design with a heavier-weight yarn.
Star of Bethlehem
The Star of Bethlehem pattern helps keep things focused on the holiness of the season. Afterall, it’s not all about Santa Claus, the elves, and Rudolph and his reindeer friends!
“no crochet” yarn ball
You can put away your crochet hooks for this one! This no-stitch yarn ball ornament is a great way to use up leftover yarn and makes for such a cute ornament as well. This is another great craft to do with the kids!
