Basic crochet shape Christmas ornament set
|
Easy to crochet Christmas ornament set made from basic shapes of geometry.
You will learn how and why to use a crochet square, a crochet triangle and a crochet circle shape.
Use a crochet square shape to create a Christmas present tree ornament, a triangle for a Christmas tree (Christmas tree - double) ornament and a circle for a snowman or multi colored swirl ornament.
The size can vary depending on the size of your crochet hook and the thickness of your yarn.
With my 3mm crochet hook they come out between 4-7cm high.
Note!
The patterns are adjustable.
- if you want a bigger crochet present ornament from square shape make more chains in the beginning
- if you want a larger crochet Christmas tree ornament from the triangle shape make more chains in the beginning
- if you want larger snowman / bulb, make more rows with the same principle of increasing
Before you start read the notes
Note!
I used the same pattern of the basic triangle crochet shape for the crochet brooch. The change was the size of my crochet hook (1.75mm) and the cotton yarn I swithced to was lace yarn.
Super important NOTE!
When you crochet a square shapeor a triangle shape use single crochet stitches all around your base so you get a nice clean edge.
Note!
Make each shape 2 times!
SEW the two parts together so you can spin your ornament around and you will not have a bad backside.
The stitches used in these patterns for basic crochet goemetric shapes are:
- sl st - slip stitch
- ch - chain stitch
- sc - single crochet stitch
- inc - make 2 single crochet stitches in 1 (adding a stitch)
- dec - join 2 single crochet stitches in 1 (removing a stitch - reducing the number of stitches)
Materials needed for the project:
- cotton yarn or any yarn of your choice
- crochet hook (3,5mm)
- scissors
- needle
Crochet square shape pattern:
This patter is super easy. All you have to do is make crochet chains that sets the lenghts of the square and then crochet rows up to set the height of the square.
Here is an example for a pattern with 10 stithes and 10 rows.

Note: if you are making a crochet snowman aplique ornament this is the pattern for the crochet carrot:
- ch4 (remember the ch3 position)
- in the 2nd stitch from the hook make sc, in the next stitch a hdc, and in the last stitch make 2dc
Leave a bit of a tail to sew the carrot to the crochet snowman head. And sew the carrot before you join both sides the shape.
