Blue Jean Ornament Crochet Pattern

There’s nothing more timeless than a great pair of blue jeans—and now you can bring that same classic style to your holiday décor with this Blue Jean Ornament Crochet Pattern! Perfect for denim lovers, fashionistas, or anyone who wants a fun and unique handmade ornament, this project adds a touch of casual charm to your Christmas tree.

Personally, blue jeans have been a staple of my wardrobe since I was a kid. I remember buying my Wranglers at the feed store when they were $19 a pair. Of course, that was nearly 50 years ago! I still love denim and really love the Jeans yarn from Lion Brand. It’s so soft and really does resemble faded blue jeans.

Why You’ll Love This Pattern

  • Fun & Unique: A playful twist on a classic wardrobe staple.

  • Customizable: Use different shades of blue for a denim look or get creative with colorful “jeans.”

  • Quick Make: Perfect for last-minute holiday crafting or gifting.

  • Great Stash-Buster: A wonderful way to use up scrap yarn!

Ways to Use Your Blue Jean Ornament

  • Hang it on your Christmas tree 🎄

  • Attach it to a gift as a reusable tag 🎁

  • Create a whole garland of mini jeans for a quirky holiday display ✨

  • Give as a handmade gift for friends who love denim or crochet

This pattern is beginner-friendly, works up quickly, and is sure to spark smiles wherever it hangs. It’s proof that crochet isn’t just cozy—it can be stylish, too!

Reindeer Earrings Crochet Pattern

The holidays are full of last-minute shopping and events, and this year has been no exception. We found out about an ugly sweater party that we were invited to. Fortunately, I already have an ugly Christmas sweater, but I realized I have no jewelry to go along with it. Since the sweater has a blinged-out reindeer on it, I decided to make a pair of reindeer earrings. They’re quick and easy because it’s just a few rows of crochet and then glue on the embellishments.

Reindeer Earrings Crochet Pattern

Materials:

8 yards sport yarn

Size E (3.5 mm) crochet hook

Red pompoms

7-mm wiggle eyes

Gold pipe cleaners

Chain & earring hooks

Directions:

Row 1: Ch 5, sc in 2nd ch from hook and next 3 ch (4 sc).

Row 2: Ch 1, turn, sc in each st.

Row 3: Ch 1, turn, 2 sc in first st, sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in last st (6 sc).

Rows 4-6: Ch 1, turn, sc in each st.

Row 7: Ch 1, turn, sc across with 2 sc in last st. Working down side, 1 sc in each row end. Working in unused lps of Row 1, 2 sc in first lp, sc in next 2 lps, 2 sc in last lp. Working up the other side, 1 sc in each row end. Join with sl st. Do not fasten off.

Ears: Ch 1, turn, sc in first 2 sc on side of head. Ch 1, turn, sc 2 tog. Fasten off.

Attach yarn on other side of head and sc in 2 sts. Ch 1, turn, sc 2 tog. Fasten off.

Cut 4″ pieces of gold pipe cleaner. Insert one on each side of head and twist into desired shape.

Glue eyes and pompom nose to front of reindeer.

Add a chain of 1-2″ (or desired length) to center top of face. Attach earring hook to other end of chain.

Manchester, NH – CGOA Chain Link Conference – Elf Gift Bag Crochet Pattern

Christmas Elf Gift Bag Crochet Pattern

I recently had the opportunity to visit Manchester for the first time. All my preconceived ideas of New England came true! It’s such a beautiful city, full of history. I only wish I could have stayed longer. The people, the food, the weather – everything was lovely!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP27RNyGrKk&t=49s

Chain Link Conference 2019

I can’t believe that I’ve been crocheting for most of my life but only found out about the Crochet Guild of America a few years ago. The conference was so much fun – meeting other crocheters from around the world, seeing their creations, hearing their ideas for new projects. Talk about idea overload! I may not sleep for a month with all the designs floating around in my head. One of the classes I took was Irish crochet, and I have so many ideas for future projects. For anyone who wants to learn, Susan Lowman does beautiful work, and she explains everything so well. My class piece isn’t finished yet, but hopefully this weekend I can get to it.

To thank all the wonderful people I met and learned from, My Fingers Fly is offering free shipping on t-shirts and leggings for crocheters. Just use code CGOA by July 31, 2019. https://www.myfingersfly.com/collections/t-shirts

This week’s free pattern is another Christmas in July theme. These little elf gift bags are so cute and versatile.
