Christmas is almost here, which means it’s time to start decorating your home! Garlands are a great way to do this, because you can hang them anywhere around the house, or even on your Christmas tree. There are so many festive options for holiday bunting, so let’s take a look at the easiest crochet garland patterns!
Table of Contents
1. Country Christmas Crochet Garland
This garland has a nostalgic country feel and is perfect for making your home cozy for the holidays. The trees have a granny square-like design and are made with simple stitches, so they work up quickly and easily.
2. Crochet Flat Christmas Tree Garland
This garland features beautifully textured Christmas trees created with the bean stitch. There’s a link to a tutorial for this stitch, so this project will be a breeze even if you’ve never used the bean stitch before. And if you add dried oranges, your garland will look even more festive and will smell amazing. Just grab some worsted-weight yarn and some oranges, and you’re good to go!
3. Christmas Trees & Stars Holiday Garland
This garland features a festive mix of Christmas trees and stars in white and yellow yarn that evokes the glowing lights of the season. You’ll need weight 3 yarn for this project, along with knowledge of basic stitches plus the puff stitch, which is explained in the pattern and is very easy to learn.
4. Crochet Stars Garland
Stars and snowflakes are both a big part of the Christmas season, and this garland combines them beautifully. You’ll need a variety of colors, and can customize your garland with whatever colors get you in the holiday spirit. This is a good project if you have a bit of crochet experience already, because you’ll need to know both basic stitches and the picot stitch.
5. Antique Style Christmas Garland
This garland has a gorgeous antique look, especially if you make it with an off-white or ivory yarn like the designer did. You’ll need DK weight yarn, and if you want your snowflakes to lie flat, you’ll want to pick up some fabric softener, too. The pattern uses easy stitches, has both US and UK terms, and includes detailed written instructions, a stitch chart, photos, and even a video tutorial!
6. Crochet Snowflakes Garland
These snowflakes are beautifully wintery, especially if you use yarn with a sheen. The pattern calls for crochet thread and a 1.25mm crochet hook, so make sure you’re comfortable working with such small supplies before you begin. The pattern includes a stitch chart and explanations of the cluster and picot stitches, but no written instructions for the rounds, so this is a good project if you already have a bit of experience with crochet.
7. Snowflake Snowflake – Ornament & Garland
These snowflakes look quite intricate, but they’re made with easy stitches, so this is a good beginner project! Plus, the pattern includes helpful progress photos. As the name suggests, you can use these snowflakes either as ornaments or as part of a garland—so versatile!
8. Scrap-Buster Holiday Light Garland
Strings of lights are another classic Christmas decoration, and if you’d rather not pay a higher electric bill during the month of December, why not crochet some? You can use them to decorate your tree, or anywhere else your home looks like it needs some holiday cheer. Plus, they’re a great use for scrap yarn. For this project, you’ll just need worsted-weight yarn, stuffing, and knowledge of easy stitches.
9. Christmas Light Decorations
If you prefer to work in rows instead of rounds, this light strand pattern is for you! For this pattern, you’ll need a weight 4 yarn like Drops Paris, some stuffing, and a darning needle. And like the previous string of lights, this project is a great way to use up scrap yarn!
10. Crochet Christmas Light Appliques
Not a fan of amigurumi, or maybe you don’t have any stuffing on hand? You can still make these 2-D crochet Christmas lights! The pattern calls for easy stitches and includes a video tutorial, so this is a great choice for beginner crocheters. Each light is only three rounds, so your garland will work up super quickly.
11. Holiday Light Garland
Here’s one last light garland! These lights are small and dainty, and like the previous pattern, no stuffing is required. You can use any colors you like, and your garland will work up super quickly and easily.
12. Crochet Paper Chain Christmas Garland
Paper chains are a classic piece of Christmas décor, so why not make a crocheted version that will last for years? This project is super customizable: you can use all your favorite colors or choose a multicolor yarn that changes colors as you go, and of course you can make your chain as long or short as you like. Best of all? This pattern uses only easy stitches, doesn’t require any sewing, and includes very useful progress photos.
13. Easy Crocheted Popcorn Garland
Popcorn garlands are another very traditional Christmas decoration, and a crocheted version can be a great way to keep stale popcorn crumbs from ending up all over your house. For this project, you’ll need white worsted-weight yarn for the popcorn and red beads for the cranberries. The pattern uses easy stitches, but be sure to pay close attention to the instructions so the yarn will look like popcorn and the beads will be threaded correctly.
14. Crochet Gingerbread Garland
Gingerbread cookies are one of my favorite parts of Christmas, and this garland looks just like them—icing and all! The patterns for the individual hearts can be found here, and the supplies you’ll need for this project are brown and white worsted-weight yarn, plus white embroidery thread and white buttons and/or beads.
15. Santa Claus Garland
This garland combines two of the best parts of Christmas: Santa and presents! You’ll need fingering-weight yarn plus craft glue to assemble the various Santa and gift pieces. The pattern uses only easy stitches and is almost completely no-sew, so it’s a great choice for beginner crocheters.
16. Christmas Crochet Ornament Pattern
Many of the patterns in this round-up can be turned into either ornaments or garlands, so why not make a garland out of crocheted ornaments? This pattern includes instructions for three shapes of ornaments, all of which are made with worsted yarn and basic stitches.
17. Free Christmas Bunting
This Christmas bunting is so joyful and festive! I especially love the cute holly accents. To make this garland, you’ll need worsted-weight yarn, felt, and either embroidery thread or craft glue. The pattern only calls for easy stitches plus the picot stitch, so the garland will work up quickly and easily.
