Today, I’m bringing you another Christmas crochet project inspiration. This time, with a free pattern included! I bought an assorted kit for making a garland of crocheted Christmas trees, but ended up changing the pattern to my own taste, and making individual hanging decorations instead of a garland. It was a bit of a learning cure, especially with the pattern tweaks, but I’m really pleased with how cute these turned out!

In today’s episode of learning to crochet from zero to hero, I’d like to share with you my most elaborate project so far. I bought an affordable crochet set for making a cute gingerbread man toy, wanting to challenge myself with techniques I haven’t tried before. It wasn’t a smooth journey all along, and I did make significant mistakes along the way. But, I also learnt several valuable lessons and will now approach future projects armed with additional knowledge. Despite his flaws, I still think that this crocheted gingerbread man turned out adorable and I did quite well. What’s even better, I completed it in just three evenings!

Learning to crochet was one of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2025. I thought it would be great to be able to turn a ball of yarn into any shape imaginable. Well, I’m still miles from being able to create my own patterns, but I’ve made good progress learning various types of stitches, and successfully completed about 10 small projects in the last few months. This time, I’d like to show you my latest creation – a cute hedgehog, which taught me how to add interesting texture to a crocheted piece. As usually, I got an assorted set in TK Maxx for a bargain price.

When I was still at the very beginning of my crocheting journey, I got carried away buying assorted DIY kits for simple crochet projects. I’m still far from being a crocheting pro, but I’ve learnt a lot since then and can finish simple projects in close to no time, without the need to look at tutorials. I’m still going through the stash of sets I bought a few months ago, and recently, I crocheted a simple watermelon keychain. And although it was a very basic project, it still taught me a lesson. Here’s some crochet inspiration, and a great candidate for a first crochet project!

I managed to successfully complete the project, and learnt a few things in the process!

One of my resolutions for 2025 is to learn to crochet. It’s a skill I’ve wanted to master for ages, but all previous attempts last year left me feeling overwhelmed and confused. I’ve purchased numerous assorted DIY crochet kits – all labelled as suitable for beginners – and yet, none of them was good enough to actually teach me how to crochet. How frustrating! However, I never gave up the dream of being able to make myself the perfect cardigan or a plushie toy. And finally, just before Easter, I decided to dedicate a few hours to getting started. I’m happy to report that I’ve made a little bit of progress, and even completed a few simple projects! Here’s how my first couple of weeks of learning to crochet went.
