Crochet Christmas present ornament

|


This crochet Christmas present ornament is super cute and super easy to make. A nice present in any color you like with a bow in a contrasting color. The pattern is free with written instructions, diagrams and a YouTube video tutorial.

 

It uses only basic stitches and the pattern is adjustable to what you need. The color combination is up to you. I chose red and gold, because this year I want more handmade, DIY ornaments on my Christmas tree.

The patters is SUPER EASY because it only uses chain stitches and single crochet stitches. It is also adjustable. I you want bigger present just make the base (row 0) longer - make more chains. If you want it smaller then you make less rows.

Size: With my 3mm crochet hook and a base of 10 chain stitches the finished Christmas present ornament is 5x5 cm (2x2 inc) big or small. It also doesn't have to be a perfect square. If can be taller or shorter. Mix and match I would say.

 

Materials needed for the project:

  • crochet hook (3mm)
  • yarn (appropriate size for the crochet hook)
  • scissors
  • needle

The stitches used in this pattern are:

  • magic ring
  • sl st – slip stitch
  • ch – chain stitch
  • sc – single crochet stitch

Pattern:

  • Row 0: ch 10
  • Row 1 - Row 10: ch1, 10sc

The diagram for the present base:

 

When you make the first square finish it off. With the second square you do not cut the yarn but you continue with joining the two squares and make a loop on top.

While joining the squares in each row or/and stitch you make a single crochet stitch, except in the corners where you make 2 single crochet stitches.

The BOW pattern:

  • magic ring
  • ch3, 3dc, ch2, sl st in the magic ring,
  • ch3, 3dc, ch2, sl st in the magic ring 
  • close the magic ring and with the end tail loop around the center to close any gaps.

If you want to see how it is done you can look at the YouTube video tutorial I made.

 

Happy crafting
