You guys!! I am so excited for today! I have hooked up with a wonderful group of bloggers to bring you seven FREE Christmas Garland Crochet Patterns. Every single design is so gorgeous, you are seriously going to want to make them all! Check back all week long to find the free pattern on each blog. My crochet holiday garland pattern was created using three classic ornament designs.
Every day this week we will be sharing our crochet garland tutorials…
Monday November 9 – Make and Takes and Flamingo Toes
Tuesday November 10 – Whistle and Ivy and Twin Dragonfly Designs
Wednesday November 11 – Persia Lou
Thursday November 12 – Sugar Bee Crafts
Friday November 13 – 733 Blog
The most challenging part of the process for me was actually finding a way to photograph the garland for this post! It’s hard to fit all of the fun shapes, colors and designs into one photograph. I made three different patterns, one for each of the ornaments. There are so many fun ways to use these ornaments! You could make a few and hang them from your Christmas tree or add one to a special holiday packaged, tied up with a bit of bakers twine!

I just love your garland Heather!! Those retro ornaments are so great! Thanks so much for being a part of the hop!

I tend to crochet what inspires me – it’s never the same every year. I made garlands one year, scarves another and even hats.
Kerri
Loving those Retro Ornaments!!
Jo-Anna
This is so beautiful!!

Hi! Absolutely love these. I have a question about the oval one. You said to chain 13 and then beginning in the 2nd chain from the hook to follow the sequence of stitches. But you are left with 2 chains if you follow this. Is there a mistake or am I missing something? Thanks!!!
Heather Painchaud
Thank you – I have edited the pattern 🙂
Christy Frampton
Hi! Love these. Can you explain more about how to do the cross on the front? It looks simple but just wondering how you did it. Thanks.
Heather Painchaud
Thanks! I used a yarn needle to sew the cross onto the front 🙂
Katie
I realise this post is quite old so I’m not sure anyone will actually see this comment. I’m throughly confused with the teardrop ornament pattern. I’ve crocheted it three different ways (interpreting the pattern three completely different ways) and still haven’t been able to come up with a shape that works. I am not a new crocheter so feel quite embarrassed to be stuck on what should be an easy pattern. any help would be appreciated. thank you!
Belinda
Hi there!
I love your garland and would love to make it for Christmas this year. I’m having trouble with the tear drop ornament though, are you able to provide further more detailed instructions?
Thanks so much!
Heather Painchaud
Hmmm Let me take a look and get back to you <3
Courtney
Anyone get an answer? I realize this is an old post but I really want to make this garland and cannot for the life of my make the teardrop ornament. Anyone figure it out?
Heather Painchaud
Updated the post today. Here’s the teardrop <3

I actually came to the comments for this exact reason. But it’s been a while so I’m guessing no update..
Heather Painchaud
Update is now in the post for the tear drop ornament. 🙂
Frances
I love this garland but the directions for the year drop ornament are really throwing me for a loop. My “finished” tear drop looks too similar to the oval one and doesn’t resemble the picture at all. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Please help, Heather!
Heather Painchaud
I’m going to take a look at that pattern this winter and hopefully post an update asap <3

This is just stunning! I love the colors you chose and how all the shapes look together. Lovely job and thank you for the tutorial! 🙂 Lisa

Thank you so much!!

Oy vey! I’ve tried the tear drop over and over – and simply cannot get it to look remotely like yours. It looks quite like the oval. I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong, and I’m so disappointed as I absolutely love the design!! Holidays are here and I’m last minute decorating – this was simply perfect for my mantle. Any help would be super appreciated!

Did anyone get an answer for the teardrop instructions? It has me baffled.
Emilie
Love these! But I am also super confused by the teardrop pattern… any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.. 🙂
Heather Painchaud
I updated it today finally. Hope that it makes sense <3

Hello! I was wondering about the oval Christmas ornament. I’ve tried doing it several times, but I don’t seem to get the same bends on the side and I have almost no curve on the second side. I was wondering if I was doing anything wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
