Who’s ready for some more festive crocheting? Tis the season for holiday crafting, am I right?

For today’s post, I’ve teamed up with Simplicity, Boye Yarn Crafts, Soak Wash and some of my favorite crochet bloggers. We will each be sharing a free garland pattern every day this week. PLUS there is a great giveaway at the end of this post! Wahoo! Keep on scrolling to see the other garland patterns and to enter the awesome giveaway. You aren’t going to want to miss it!

But first, let’s check out my garland, yes?

make your own cute crocheted retro Christmas ornament garland - free pattern

When I saw the colors we were using for this blog hop, I thought they had a real retro vibe, so I decided to go with retro-style ornaments too. Here’s everything you need to make your own:

Materials:

  • Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Red Heart Soft Yarn in Teal, Turquoise, White, Seafoam, and Really Red)
  • Size I (5.50 mm) Crochet Hook
  • Wooden Beads (I used 1/2″, 3/4″, and 1″ beads)
  • Gloss Craft Paint
  • Yarn Needle

I made three different styles of ornaments for my garland. Each has it’s own pattern below, but before you start crocheting, you need to paint the wooden beads the color of your choice. I used white and aqua colored beads.

Ornament 1 Pattern

Special Stitches:
Half-Treble Crochet (htrc) – Yarn over twice, insert hook into work, yarn over (four loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops (three loops on hook), yarn over and draw through all loops.

Round 1: Start with a magic loop, ch 3 and work 11 dc in the magic loop. Pull tail to tighten circle, slip stitch to join. Finish off weave in ends.

Round 2: Join new color, ch 1, (sc, ch 2, trc, ch 2, sc) all in same stitch, *2 hdc in next st, (dc, htrc) in next st, 3 trc in next st, (htrc, dc) in next st, 2 hdc in next st,** (sc, ch 2, trc, ch 2, sc) all in next st, repeat from * to **, sl st to join. Finish off and weave in ends.

Next we will attach a little tassel to the bottom of the ornament.

Start by wrapping the yarn around your fingers four or five times. Cut off a length of yarn, thread through the top of the loops you just made and double knot it. Cut through the bottom of the loops. Use the yarn needle to thread a bead or two onto the top of the tassel. Tie onto the bottom of the ornament and cut off excess.

Ornament 2 Pattern

For this ornament, you will crochet three circles and stitch them together.

Circle 1
Round 1: 
Start with magic loop, ch 3, 11 dc in magic loop, pull to tighten, sl st to join.
Round 2: Ch 3, dc in same st, 2 dc in each st around, sl st to join. Finish off, weave in ends.

Circle 2
Round 1: Start with magic loop, ch 3, 11 dc in magic loop, pull to tighten, sl st to join.
Round 2: Ch 1, sc in same st, sc, 2 sc, * sc, sc, 2 sc, repeat from * twice, sl st to join. Do not finish off.

Using the same yarn, crochet through the bottom two stitches of circle one. When the two circles are securely attached, finish off and weave in ends.

Circle 3
Round 1: 
Start with magic loop, ch 3, 11 dc in magic loop, pull to tighten, sl st to join.  Stitch through bottom two stitches of Circle 2. Finish off, weave in ends.

Round 2: Ch 3, dc in same st, 2 dc in each st around, sl st to join. Finish off, weave in ends.
Round 3: Join new color, ch 1, sc in same st, sc in each of next 6 stitches, hdc, (hdc, dc), (htrc, trc, htrc), (dc, hdc), hdc, sc in each of next 7 sts, hdc, (hdc, dc), (htrc, trc, htrc), (dc, hdc), hdc, sl st to join. Finish off, weave in ends.

I added a tassel to the bottom of this ornament as well following the same process used for ornament one.

When you have a little pile of ornaments, string them onto a length of yarn or tie them onto a long string of chains. I also added large wooden beads in between each of the ornaments on my garland. I really love the contrast of the glossy wood beads with the crochet ornaments.
