Crocheting for Christmas is more popular than ever. Nothing is as much fun as crocheting your own Christmas decorations—from crocheted Christmas ornaments and a crocheted nativity scene to crocheted Christmas stockings. You name it, you can crochet it. It’s high time to get started, because Christmas 2017 is just around the corner! Get inspired online by the best Christmas ideas and festive yarns from Yarnplaza.
1. Crocheting Christmas decorations for the Christmas tree
Finish off your Christmas tree with homemade crocheted Christmas decorations. The crocheted stars and little Christmas trees are surprisingly perfect for this. Even though it’s been a few years since we shared these patterns with you, they’re still my personal favorite when it comes to Christmas crocheting!
All you need is a 4mm Crochet Hook and a ball of Lana Grossa Silkhair. This is a silky-soft yarn with a fluffy texture. A big advantage is that you can choose from more than 50 different colors, so it will always match the rest of your Christmas decorations. You can make at least 12 ornaments from a single Ball!

The Best Christmas Yarns of 2017
In addition to the cute, fuzzy Winter Yarns, it’s also a lot of fun to work with glitter yarns during the holidays. Using glitter yarns quickly gives you a festive and sparkling final result. Will you choose a yarn with glitter strands, or would you prefer a ball with shiny sequins?
Below are my favorite glitter yarns. These are also great for crocheting Christmas stockings or Christmas ornaments, for example. Which one is your favorite?
