Enhance your Christmas tree with crochet Christmas ornaments by Olga Tarasova. These colorful pieces will bring a handmade charm to your holiday decor the moment you hang them around the house. They are designed in the shape of Mickey Mouse heads, adding a touch of cartoonish fun to your festivities.
Creative Variations for Your Ornament Set
This pattern allows you to create a set of six adorable ornaments. Each piece features a different design inspired by Santa Claus, gingerbread cookies, or candy canes. You’re also more than welcome to modify their look as you like, or even create your own ornaments using just the mouse-shaped base.
Materials You Need for the Crochet Ornament Set
To make this lovely set of crochet Christmas tree ornaments, you will need a yarn in festive colors and a matching hook size. The original samples were made using sport-weight yarn and a 3 mm crochet hook.
A great choice for this project is Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima Fine. It’s a durable 100% cotton yarn that provides great stitch definition. It will also be perfect if you decide to turn these ornaments into crochet holiday coasters.
How Do I Change The Size Of Each Ornament?
When made with recommended supplies, these ornaments measure approximately 4.7 inches (9 cm) in height and 3.7 inches (8 cm) in width. However, you can very easily change their size by using different yarn and hook. Use thicker yarn and a bigger hook if you want to make your ornaments larger or transform them into coasters.
What Stitches Should I Know To Work This Pattern?
For this crochet ornament pattern, basic crochet skills are required. You should know how to work stitches in the round and change yarn colors. Each piece features fundamental crochet stitches, including chains, single crochets, and double crochets, which makes them very easy to complete even if you don’t have a lot of experience.
