Crocheted Christmas Ornaments

Patterns from left to right: Snowflake # 7 by Sally V. George, no longer available online; Angel "Noelle" Ornament by James G. Davis; Royal Crown Snowflake by Sandi Marshall; Picot Snowflake Ornament by Priscilla Hewitt.


I vow never to start my Christmas preparations until December ... so, since it is December 1st, let the countdown begin!  

Every year for the last six years I have picked out a pattern and spent the month making ornaments.  I make them for my tree, to give to co-workers, and to use as decorations on presents.  

I love unpacking my decorations every year and rediscovering them.  Here are some of my favorites.  I usually crochet them in cotton thread, use a fabric stiffener, and then use glitter spray to add a little sparkle. 

Anyone have any ideas for this year?

  6. These are adorable! I crochet too but I've never ventured into such thin materials. I bet a tree with white lights covered with these ornaments would be so adorable!
