Crochet Christmas Ornaments

We’re nearing the end of November and with Christmas quickly approaching, it’s the perfect time for a pattern round up featuring festive projects. These holiday designs are lovely little ornaments and baubles that would be great for hanging on a tree or as a cute accent on your gifts. Of course, they could be also be gifted (these are great for teachers, neighbours, co-workers and friends) and all of these projects would make for a nice festive addition to your markets if you need to fill in your table with some smaller items.

How To Download Digital Files from Etsy

Etsy is a popular online marketplace retailer for selling and purchasing crochet and knit patterns.
