Find a selection of free Christmas crochet patterns from this new and growing website. Patterns typically follow Amigurumi techniques and are fairly easy to make using single crochet, increases and decreases. Every pattern comes with step by step instructions and tips and is written with the beginner in mind.
Be sure to check out our new pattern licensing program where crocheters can use our patterns to make items for sale.
Amigurumi Crochet Tip
When making shapes using increases and decreases, be sure to gently stretch the item as you are making it.
By stretching the piece slightly, the increases and decreases will slide into place better and lie flatter. Remember to stretch and not yank as you don't want to stretch the stitches so much that the stuffing will show through.

Crochet Tip
When using an iron to steam out curls or stiffen a piece, do not allow the full weight of the iron to rest one your crochet or you will flatten the texture of the stitches. Hold the iron so that it only touches the crochet.
