How to Crochet a Christmas Garland?

  • First, find a pattern, or multiple patterns, that will look good together in a garland. Then, take some measurements of the area you will be hanging it, so you will know how long your garland needs to be.
  • Next, decide how many motifs you will need and then buy the yarn to make them. Whether youโ€™re assembling them with simple flat motifs or the more sophisticated 2-D or 3-D shaped ones, crochet garlands are usually quick to make.
  • Chances are that you will probably have the supplies you need right in your craft drawers. They donโ€™t take much yarn.
  • Lastly, you will need a string to hang your motifs. You can either crochet a long chain with yarn or use any other leftovers of store-bought craft strings you have around.

Tips to Create Perfect Crochet Garlands

Picking Materials

For simple flat motifs garlands, you don’t need much, here is what is usually called for:

However, a few of the patterns in this list will also call for stuffing fiber, like fiberfill, to make the 2-D or 3-D shaped ornaments. Please click the links for each pattern and check the list of materials you will need.

Customizing Your Garlands

The possibilities for garland customizations are endless and easy to do.

  • First, pick a pattern, or multiple patterns, to combine them all in one garland. Then decide what elements you want your garland to have. Surely, trees, stars, and snowflakes will look great together.
  • Also, Christmas ornaments, like presents, angels, Santa Claus, or other tree ornaments, are all motifs that can go together in a garland as well. 
  • Besides, you can mix your handmade motifs with other craft supplies you have around. Like I did with my 2D Christmas lights and golden jingle bells (included in the list below).
  • Finally, when you have decided what you want in your garland, gather your supplies, and make youโ€™re the most beautiful Christmas decoration piece for your home.

Choosing the Best Yarns

I recommend lighter weight (#2 to #4) yarns for Christmas Garlands. But remember that these are great projects for scrap yarn, so the best yarns are the leftovers you have in your craft room.

Besides, the more colorful the better, so you can even use different yarn weights, colors, and even brands, to crochet your motifs.

It’s important to keep in mind also that some patterns will call for specific yarns. Since most garlands are made of very small motifs, I would recommend you crochet a swatch before starting your final project, if your intention is to use a different yarn.
