The Crochet Loop sells 40 crochet patterns as PDF downloads on Etsy: 24 Christmas decor patterns, 9 winter wear patterns, 6 home decor patterns and 1 amigurumi pattern. Every pattern is written row by row, with the stitch count at the end of each row, a materials list, and US and UK terms in the same file.
Christmas decor and winter wear make up 33 of the 40, so most of what you can make here goes on the tree or keeps you covered in the cold. That is the core of the shop. Use the grid above to filter by family. Every card opens that pattern on Etsy. You buy there.
Crochet Pattern Families: Christmas Decor, Winter Wear, Filet, Blankets, Leaves and Gifts
Crochet pattern families sort the 40 patterns by project type, and this page uses seven of them. The seven families overlap by design, because filet is a technique and leaves are a season, while the grid filters sort each pattern into one category only. A filet poinsettia runner is a filet pattern and a Christmas pattern at once. You pick the family first. Then you pick the file.
Christmas Crochet Patterns
The Christmas family holds 24 patterns: ornaments, snowflakes and stockings, then a tree skirt, garlands and an advent calendar. Mug cozies, coasters, table runners, gift bags and wind spinners fill the rest. Bundles hold from 3 to 62 designs in one file, and several are single patterns, so you can buy one project or a whole season. The titles name tapestry crochet, thread crochet and filet, and our tree skirt comes in 30, 40 and 48 in (76, 102 and 122 cm) across. Every file is sorted by where it goes in the house in Christmas Crochet Patterns: Ornaments, Stockings and Decor.
Winter Crochet Patterns
The winter wear family holds 9 patterns for beanies, scarves and mittens, plus ear warmers, hooded capes, a cable cardigan, a shawl and a shrug. Sizes run from baby (the Christmas beanies) to 5XL (the capes, the cardigan and the shrug), as the Etsy titles state. Cables, moss stitch and shell lace shape the pieces, so you choose by stitch as much as by size. Most of the titles state sizes. Each garment is placed on the body, head to shoulders, in Crochet Winter Patterns: Beanies, Scarves, Capes and Cardigans.
Filet Crochet Patterns
Five patterns name filet in their titles: two wall hangings, a shawl, a table runner and a window valance. Each title says “Chart and Written Rows”, so you can follow the grid or the text. Our Luna Phases shawl, for one, blocks to about 135 cm (53 in) across the top. The family is gathered under Filet Crochet Patterns: Wall Hangings, Shawl, Runner and Curtain.
Crochet Blanket Patterns
Four blanket patterns use three techniques. You choose by technique. Two are overlay mosaic blankets, one is the 3D Snowflake Stitch blanket, and one is a set of 12 Christmas granny squares with blanket and throw layouts. Size ranges come from the titles: baby to queen for the mosaics, so you can make one design as a baby blanket or a bed cover. The 3D Snowflake Stitch file adds a cowl to the blanket. These four make up Crochet Blanket Patterns: Mosaic, Snowflake and Granny Square.
Crochet Leaf and Fall Patterns
Two patterns cover autumn. The Autumn Leaves file holds 9 tree leaf designs and a fall garland. The fall table runner works maple leaves and acorns in tapestry crochet, in 3 lengths. Neither is Christmas. So you find both under the home decor filter of the grid. Together they are Crochet Leaf Patterns: 9 Autumn Leaves and a Fall Garland.
Crochet Gift Patterns
Gift patterns are the small, quick pieces people make to give away: mug cozies, coasters, gift bags and candy cane covers. They suit gifting because each one is flat or small. Our mug cozies close beside the handle with two button straps. You need no sewing onto the mug. Gifts chosen by the person who receives them sit in Crochet Gift Ideas: Easy Gifts to Make by Person and Time.
Amigurumi and Home Decor Patterns
The Bao Bun is the one amigurumi pattern, titled “Low Sew Beginner Food Plushie, Flat Base”. The Beginner Coasters give granny square and round designs. Both titles say Beginner. You can start with either.
Easy Crochet Patterns for Beginners
The easiest crochet patterns for beginners in this shop are the 7 whose Etsy titles say Beginner or Easy, because the title is the pattern’s own label for its level:
- Beginner Coasters: “Beginner Crochet Coaster Pattern, Granny Square & Round Designs”, for coasters.
- Moss Stitch Chunky Scarf: “Easy Beginner Super Bulky Winter Scarf”, for a scarf and an infinity cowl.
- Tiny Christmas Ornaments: “Quick Beginner Crochet”, for 30 tiny ornaments.
- Bao Bun Amigurumi: “Low Sew Beginner Food Plushie”, for a small plush bun.
- Christmas Coasters: “Quick Easy Gift”, for 12 round and square coasters.
- Scalloped Christmas Tree Skirt: “Easy”, for a tree skirt in 3 sizes.
- Christmas Advent Calendar: “Easy PDF with Number Chart”, for a 24 pocket wall hanging.
The block above shows four of the seven. Start with the coasters or the scarf if you have never followed a written pattern: their titles say Beginner, and both are worked flat. The Craft Yarn Council names four project levels, Basic, Easy, Intermediate and Complex, in its “Project Levels” standard, and it does not use “beginner”. That is not a CYC level. It is the pattern’s own label.
What Every Crochet Pattern PDF Includes
Every crochet pattern PDF from The Crochet Loop includes row by row instructions, a materials list and US and UK terms in the same file. Each part does one job while you make the project.
| What is in the file | Why it helps you make the project |
|---|---|
| Row by row instructions with the stitch count at the end of each row | You count your stitches before the next row, so a missed stitch shows up at once |
| Materials list: yarn weight, hook size, notions | You buy the right yarn and hook before you start |
| US and UK terms in the same file | You read the stitch names you learned, with no conversion |
| A version number | You can check that your copy is the latest one |
| A corrected file, sent free, if a mistake is reported through Etsy | A fixed pattern replaces the faulty page instead of a guess |
The image shows the file you make the project from: pages of a Christmas bundle, each round written out with its stitch count.
Each card in the grid opens the PDF download on Etsy, where you buy and download the file. Some titles add “Chart and Written Rows”, among them the filet, mosaic, tapestry and 3D snowflake patterns, so those files carry a chart and the written rows together.
How to Read a Crochet Pattern: US and UK Terms
US and UK crochet patterns use the same stitch names for different stitches: a US single crochet is a UK double crochet.
| US / Canada term | UK term | Abbreviation (US) |
|---|---|---|
| slip stitch | slip stitch | sl st |
| single crochet | double crochet | sc |
| half double crochet | half treble | hdc |
| double crochet | treble | dc |
| treble | double treble | tr |
| double treble | triple treble | dtr |
| gauge | tension | not abbreviated |
| yarn over | yarn over hook | yo |
These pairs come from the Craft Yarn Council “Crochet Abbreviations Master List”. Our files print both sets of names, so you read the same file whichever system you learned. No conversion. The full abbreviation list and chart reading belong to How to Read a Crochet Pattern: Abbreviations and US vs UK Terms.
The patterns are written and sold under one name. Who that is, and what the site covers, is on About The Crochet Loop: Crochet Ideas, Tutorials and PDF Patterns.
Questions makers ask
Are these crochet patterns free?
No. Each pattern is a paid PDF download on Etsy, and the full pattern sits in the file you download. This site shows no prices because prices change on Etsy. Open any card in the grid to see the listing, its photos and the current price before you buy.
Do the patterns use US or UK crochet terms?
Both, in the same file. The two systems give one stitch two names: a US single crochet is a UK double crochet. Each file carries both sets of terms, so a maker who learned in the UK reads the same pattern as a maker in the US, with no conversion.
What happens if a pattern has a mistake?
You get a corrected file, sent free. Report the mistake through Etsy and the fixed PDF comes back to you. Every file carries a version number, so you can check that the copy on your screen or printer is the latest one before you start a new row.
Does each pattern list the yarn and hook I need?
Yes. Every file includes a materials list: the yarn weight or thread size, the hook size and the notions. Yarn files give the Craft Yarn Council weight number, and those numbers run from 0, the finest, to 7, the thickest, so you can match a yarn label in the shop.
