I wanted to create a flat version I could use as gift toppers or on my Christmas cards this year. They could also be added to gifts as fun “ugly” Christmas tags or as an embellishment on your crocheted book sleeve to give it that Christmasy feel.

As appliqués, these Christmas sweaters are super versatile and can be used on any crochet project to add a festive accent." (May from Start Crochet)

Pine Cone by Crochet To Play

"Not so long ago, I was shopping the aisles of my favorite craft store and noticed the cutest pine cone decorations tucked into a shelf. Even though they weren’t made of yarn, I instantly thought, I want a crochet version of those! So I added “crochet pine cone pattern” to my to-do list of future designs.

Once I was able to get to work on these, I experimented until I got a pine cone shape I liked. I tried different yarn weights and hook sizes and got all kinds of different results. The pine cone pattern shared here is my favorite of the bunch. It uses worsted weight yarn and a size E/3.5mm hook. However, you can use lighter weight yarn and a smaller hook for smaller pine cones." (Jennifer from Crochet To Play)
