These can be made of Thread or any worsted weight yarns.

 

Some examples of ornaments can be Santa faces, gingerbread boy/girl, covered ornament balls, wreaths etc,,, Icicles, teddy bears, just about anything can be made into a ornament even Ami's. Any flat items or even stuffed ones.... the possibilities are endless..

 

You can make then at your pace, no time frame here. Just please post when you make some so we can see your works...

 

This year I made many to give out to staff at hospital etc and found i hadnt made enough so want to start from January 2009 to December 2009...

[sticksnhooks]

[rascalsmom]

I'm interested, too. I want to make new snowflakes (mine are 20+ years old!!), and I'd like to make some snowmen for my "snowman tree", too.....

[creativepassage]

Count me in!!!! I'm going to try to get at least one a month done

[hseger]

I might try this. I got alot of snowflakes done one year, but this year though I wanted to make some ornaments I never got around to it.

[namffoc]

Where are you all getting your patterns for some of the more traditional ornaments?

[moomooo]

Wow Ladies :

I'm so excited to see that some many already want to join this CAL..

 

I had so many ornamnets I wanted to make this year and was just able to do it in time.

 

So Thats is why this CAl idea came to me...

 

So I will be doing some yarn snowflakes... I already crocheted this year some of the sweetie snowflakes only i didnt put the eyes etc on them i just bought some irredesent gliter and glue it to the snowflakes...

 

I took photos of all them and by error i deleted the file where they were so all gone .

But the year is not here yet so I will do some more..

 

Nanffoc,,, you can find all sort of ornament patterns first on:

 

http://www.patterncentral.com

and well some of the amigurrumi patterns work well for ornaments and some of the small toys too...

 

I some times take magnet/fridgie patterns and make then into ornaments as well and even Pin patterns too.

 

I will try and post some of the links that are out there in the net as I come across them so you all can get ideas and please if you know of some of them hard to find on google search sites with ornaments please do kindly post the links here as well...

 

Ornaments dont have to always be christmas themed... There are finger puppets that can be ornaments and so much more the possibilities are endless..

 

One thing I always do is I crochet at least 1 dozen of one kind of ornament at a time then i go to another kind etc so beleive me you will find this CAL to be very addicting...

 

hugs

That's a great idea to do a dozen of each one. Once you're on a roll, that just makes sense. Count me in. I would love to do a series of crocheted snowflakes for our tree.

Thanks for hosting,

Debbie

[Scorpio59]

I'll sign up. I want to make some thread bells.

[woomba]

Oh I love the sweetie snowflake...I made some in yarn this year also and got creative with it. Its a great basic and just the right size for an ornament. I also used the easy angel bookmark and made angel ornaments from it. Here is an angel pin that I found. http://www.heartmadeblessings.org/patterns/robbiesangel.asp Cheers

[CrochetinMama]

I too am interested..I'm just now making my friend a penguin ornament..Maybe 2..lol..And would love to make more..Along with snowflakes..It'll be fun...

[unicorn37757]

I want to do this one too cause I plan to try & start early this year so I can have everything I want to do done this time for Christmas:yay

[a_stitchintime]

oooh!

I loooove ornaments, and never seem to have enough time to do them. I have them on my list for next year, so I would like to join too!

my next question is do the satin Christmas balls count as "stash busted"?!

[angelfire]

I am definitely joining this one.

I do get some ideas @ www.crochetpatterncetral.com , but then I have a couple I made up on my own and at least a dozen angel crcoeht patterns along with my snowman patterns from http://crochetadventure.8m.com/ (my favorite snowmen).

[moomooo]

Wow Ladies you are all most welcomed here and thank you for sharing with us all them lovely links to all the patterns you find...

 

I will never be able to do such a great search of patterns like you all finds so keep them coming...

 

And please remember to post photos of your works as you go along...

I'll join. I will be at least making pineapple angels from JPFun.

[jessicagil]

Oh yes can you keep track of all the links in the first post? Because sometimes CALs just get too 'long' to weed through all the posts for links. Thanks!

Very sweet angel ornaments from Marlo's Heavenly Angel Bookmark. Thank you Marlo I was making these bookmarks and thought they would make lovely ornaments in yarn.

[moomooo]

Thank you Woomba for the photo... they do look lovely... can you tell us how many rows you did on the gown of the angel?? cause that length looks great to me....

 

I will post the link later on this evening in the first post page.

you could try this too. to decorate garlands

it is simple you chain five over the beads and then one sc inbetween each all the way around. Wal-Mart had the 18ft garlands for $2.00 before Christmas they should be a great deal less expensive right now and they come in several colors. I used a size 10 thread and a size 6 hook.

I followed pattern thru row 1 of skirt. On row 2 I put shell, Vst, shell, Vst, shell (to shape the skirt) - I did this for 5 rows total. (Skirt is a total of 6 rows.

 

I hope this helps.
