How to Three Crochet Christmas Decor for Beginners

This video is a crochet tutorial for Christmas decorations, covering three different projects: a bow garland, a Coquette Wreath, and heart ornaments.

I. Bow Garland

• Starting Point: Begin with a slip knot and a small chain.

• Stitch Pattern: Insert the hook into a specific chain, yarn over, and pull through. Repeat for the next chain, leaving multiple loops on the hook.

• Reducing Loops: Remove the hook from some loops, yarn over, and pull through the remaining loop.

• Length: Repeat this pattern until the desired length for the garland is achieved.

• Finishing: Finish off by cutting the yarn and weaving in the ends to secure the work.

• Forming the Bow: Create the bow shape by tying a knot in the middle of the crocheted piece.

• Versatility: This pattern can also be used to make individual bow ornaments for a Christmas tree.

• Connecting for Garland: To create a garland, connect the individual bows by looping one through another.

II. Coquette Wreath

• Base: Use a metal, wire, or cardboard circle as the foundation for the wreath.

• Attaching Yarn: Start with a slip knot and attach the yarn to the base.

• Row 1 (Single Crochet): Work single crochet stitches around the entire base. Ensure that the total number of stitches is divisible by a specific number. Finish by slip stitching into the first stitch.

Save

• Row 2 (Double Crochet): Chain a specific number of stitches and then work a double crochet into every stitch around the wreath. Slip stitch into the top of the initial chain.

• Row 3 (Petal Pattern): Skip a specific number of stitches, then make multiple double crochets in the next stitch. Skip another set of stitches, and then slip stitch into the following stitch. Repeat this pattern around the wreath to create a decorative edge.

• Finishing: Cut the yarn and weave in the ends to secure the work.

Save

• Decoration: Enhance the wreath by weaving a contrasting color yarn through the stitches and tying a bow at the top for an added decorative touch.

III. Heart Ornaments

• Starting Point: Begin with a magic ring and a chain.

• First Half of Heart: Make triple crochets inside the ring, followed by double crochets. Then, chain, make a triple crochet, chain again, and make more double crochets, followed by triple crochets. Finish this half by chaining and slip stitching inside the ring.

• Closing Circle: Close the magic ring by pulling the yarn tail tightly.

• Second Half of Heart: For the second half of the heart, make single crochets inside the chain space.

Save

• Then, make double crochets in specific stitches, followed by more double crochets. Make a triple crochet, then more double crochets, and then double crochets in specific stitches. Finish with single crochets inside the chain space and slip stitch into the first stitch.

• Finishing: Cut the yarn and hide the tails to complete the heart shape.

• Finishing Options:

  • Plushy Ornament: Make two hearts and stuff one with filling before joining them together to create a plush ornament.

Save

• • Double-Sided (No Filling): Make two hearts and join them without stuffing for a flat, double-sided ornament.

  • One-Sided: Use a single heart for a simpler, one-sided ornament.

• Joining Double-Sided: To make a double-sided ornament, place two hearts together with their wrong sides facing inward. Leave two tails for hanging and hide the remaining tails.

• Joining Edges: Attach a contrasting color yarn and single crochet around the edges to join the two hearts.

• Final Secure: Slip stitch at the starting point, cut the yarn, and hide the tails.

• Hanging Loop: Knot the remaining two tails to create a loop for hanging the ornament.
