Holiday crochet goes best when you start small and plan ahead. Pick projects you can finish in an evening.
Good first projects
- A little snowman, which is mostly two round balls.
- A Christmas tree ornament to hang or stand on a shelf.
- A mini keychain in festive colours.
Use what you have
Small pieces are ideal for leftover yarn. Choose one shared colour, such as red or white, so a set of gifts looks planned.
Plan your time
Count how many items you want to make, and make one first to time it. Allow extra time for sewing parts together, since it often takes longer than the crochet.
Keep gifts safe
Use embroidered eyes on anything for a young child, and keep small beads and bells away from babies.
