Christmas Crochet Patterns: Cute Christmas Earrings

Looking for Christmas crochet patterns to help you get into the festive spirit?

There are five FREE crochet Christmas patterns in this post to help you find your festive cheer (even though life feels like a lot!). We are gearing up for the end of the year, and we’re all feeling it. The kids are tired, and so am I!

That’s why I love these crochet earrings. They are quick, easy, and cute. I always have a long list of Christmas crochet patterns and projects and never actually follow through. But these easy crochet earrings made me feel like I’d achieved something with very little effort, so I’ll take the win.

Supplies

DK yarn (cotton or acrylic)(I used Charity DK)

3mm crochet hook

Scissors

Stitch marker

Earring hooks

Abbreviations (US Terms)

MR – magic ring

sc – single crochet

sc inc – single crochet increase (make two single crochet in the same stitch)

ch – chain

ss – slip stitch

bs – bobble stitch (Yarn over and insert your hook into the stitch. Pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through the first 2 loops on your hook. Repeat 5 times until there are 6 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops. Single crochet in the next stitch.)

sc twist stitch – This stitch begins like a single crochet. Insert your hook into the stitch. Yarn over and pull up a loop. There will be two loops on your hook, like in a normal single crochet. Now, twist your hook counterclockwise, twisting the two loops. Then yarn over and pull through the loops, completing your single crochet. You can find a helpful video from Tamara Kelly – Moogly here.

Notes

  • For the bobble stitch used in the Holly Leaf earrings, I only repeated 3 times instead of 5 because I was happy with the size of the berries. This will depend on what yarn you use.
  • The Christmas trees and Santa hats are worked in the round using a stitch marker.
  • The numbers in brackets are the total number of stitches in each row/round.
  • Turning chains don’t count as stitches.

I’m a sucker for Christmas crochet patterns, and Christmas earrings are a fun and easy way to jazz up an outfit during the festive season. I wore a pair to a school function the other day and got so many compliments. Is there anything better than saying, “Thanks, I made them”?

Hold two sides together and connect them using a slip stitch. Sew on any details you like, such as a bow. Attach the earring hooks.

I love wearing things I’ve made, but clothing can take forever. Earrings are quick, easy, and versatile (I may have turned some of these into keychains). I also love using Christmas crochet patterns to add a touch of homemade goodness to out home.

I can’t wait to see how you personalise your Christmas earrings. If you liked these patterns, you might also enjoy these Halloween earrings or this Crochet Flower Bag. You can also find some of my ad-free patterns in my Etsy shop.
