I have a crocheted shopping bag that I received as a Christmas gift from my girl friend that I love and I hope to learn how to make them.
I love crocheting, knitting, and loafs of crafts yes……love these ideas..
I love making coasters as “stocking stuffer” presents for all of my relatives. It’s a great way to use up small amounts of yarn, and changing the color or type of yarn used can totally change the look.

It would have to be christmas stockings-can’t find any well-made stockings-this pattern is a really nice one-cudos!
I don’t have a particularly favorite crochet craft. Every year, I think of a theme I want to do and make everyone something from that theme. This year is blankets, so I’m making 20 single-person blankies. Last year, it was granny squares and each item I made was square-shaped or made with at least one granny square!
the best thing I have made for Christmas is my tree skirt.
I love the concept of Christmas in July; to beat the heat a bit, to start a new Christmas afghan in time to get it finished by Christmas. Christmas afghans are most definitely my favorite.

I learned to crochet many years ago when I went to a Christmastime community class offered in Winston-Salem, NC for people who wanted to crochet Christmas ornaments. I have been crocheting ever since, but I give away 98% of what I make to charitable causes, such as lapghans to nursing homes here in Texas, where I now live. This is one of my favorite hobbies.
My favorite Christmas crochet crafts just happen to be stockings for friends and family. They make great fillable gifts that everyone loves to receive.
I haven’t learned how to crochet yet, but, I would love to make snowflakes for the Christmas tree and to add them to gifts that I give out this year. I think it would give it that extra personal touch.
My favorite is crocheting Elf hats!!! I make them for all the staff at our store…last year I made 50 …each and every staff member wears them beginning December 1st. This year I am making them for the staff at our other stores (we now have 5 stores)…lol!!!

Making each of my 3 kids a personal ornament!!
I love making blankets, afghans, hats and scarfs for the homeless. I just leave them in the park and they are gone.
It depends on the year and my mood, I guess. I have crocheted a tree skirt w/ holy berries cross-stitched in it. I’ve made socks, afghans, stockings and hats as gifts. Thanks for the giveaways!
I like to crochet snowflakes. Snow flakes with fuzzy yarn would be very nice.
I think crocheted snowflakes are wonderful for the holidays. They can be attached to gifts, used to decorate the tree, or attached to a sweater or a card as a sweet embellishment.

I love crocheting scaves for Christmas 🙂
I crochet all sorts of things. I am currently working on a special fox hat for a special friend in Vietnam as an Xmas present. I have had to alter a child’s pattern to get the right size for an adult and I have been slowly working on attaching the ears (had to write up my own pattern for them) so they stay up. It also needs a lot of embroidered details so it is taking a long time to work out how I am going to do each detail and with what materials. My friend is going to be so surprised and happy with it so it is worth the effort to make this OOAK hat for her.
I also crochet BJD doll clothes for people, ornaments, lots of hats in all sizes and amigurumi. I always have four or five projects lying around to pick up as the mood hits. I definitely crochet more during the winter months, even though it rarely gets that cold in our part of Texas. Crochet always seems to be a more fall and winter kind of craft to do.
Looking forward to working on gifts – thanks for an opp to win this giveaway!

Love to make warm houseboots and hats and mittens/ gloves for my children and grandchildren to keep them warm in the winter! My grandchildren love for me to make animal hats for them. I’ve made everything from snowmen hats to frogs to owls. Pony tail hats too. They are so special to me!
I love to crochet and make gifts for family and friends. Christmas is my favorite time of the year.

I make hats and scarves for the winter.
My favorite will always be crocheting Christmas Tree Ornaments. When my children were little, we always had a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. They strung popcorn and I would finish up our ornaments as my husband put lights in the tree. WONDERFUL memories!!! Thanks for the reminder. It put a smile on my face!!! ; >
I love crocheting ornaments, especially personalized ones to pass out to family and close friends. There is nothing better than seeing one smile when they are given a bright colorful Christmas ornament for their tree.
Bless you for doing the give away . My favorites things are scarves and hats and dishcloths for gifts. God bless yo.

Holiday hats/caps for the little ones in our family!
I crochet hats. I’ve done so many, I think I could do one in my sleep. I’ve started branching out into gloves. Might as well keep everyone’s fingers warm too.
Crocheting granny style Christmas tree and snowflakes!
I crocheted some snowflakes, it was so much fun! I liked that they were a small quick project. I gave them out as gifts in Christmas cards. I used for ornaments on our tree and for decor on our door and windows. The best thing was, I made each one different just like a real snow flake.
I like to crochet bags. I also like to win prizes!

Love, Love, Love the red and turquoise in these stockings. I have to make me some!
I think crochet ornaments are lovely, making the family Christmas tree unique and cozy!
Since my boys are grown and gone, I would love to make them each a set of ornaments
For winter – I probably enjoy nice warm scarves and scoodies to crochet — I love the varying thicknesses – and designs – patterns so many to do.
Christmas tree ornaments are fun, but I like to crochet little decorations to attach to the gifts themselves. It REALLY perks up the package presentation when it’s time to open gifts!
How adorable! And I love to win prizes!
