The Holiday Season Is Upon Us! Are You Ready to Get Busy Making Holiday Crafts?
Happy November, everyone! Today is November 1, 2024. Halloween is now over and done with, and that means your local retailers are probably putting up their Christmas displays and getting ready for the holiday rush of shoppers.
For those of us planning to make our own Christmas gifts and Christmas decorations, the pressure is on to get it all finished before December 25 rolls around. On the one hand, there’s plenty of time. On the other hand, there’s never enough time — so there’s no time like the present to get moving on your 2024 holiday crafting.
If you need a little inspiration for what to make for the 2024 holiday season, I invite you to check out this list of the best Christmas craft books. These books all have fantastic Christmas project ideas, plus the patterns you can use for making each project.
I’ll highlight a couple of my favorites from the list here in this blog post — but I hope you’ll check out the entire list to find some amazing Christmas knitting books, Christmas crochet books, and other assorted Christmas craft books.
My New Favorite Christmas Crochet Book for 2024: Classic Christmas Crochet
If I had to choose just one Christmas pattern book to work from, it would be a tough choice — but I think this is the one I’d go for.
Why?
A couple of reasons:
- First of all, because I think this book is the prettiest of all my current choices. The Christmas ornaments and projects featured are lovely and useful ones;
- and, second, because these projects all work well for either gift-giving or keeping.
Arne & Carlos Favorite Designs: Christmas Gift Knitting Patterns + Everyday Patterns = Huge Winner!
This book is another top favorite that I highly recommend. It’s primarily intended for knitters, but it also includes a sprinkling of crochet and embroidery, too.
This isn’t specifically intended to be a Christmas book, but I have no problem including it on my list of best Christmas books because so much of its contents are Christmas friendly.
The book includes a high number of usable patterns. It also has a fantastic variety of different projects, including Christmas ornaments, toys, slippers and many others. Some of these items are specifically Christmas projects; some of which are projects for other holidays; and some of which are everyday projects that would make fantastic Christmas gifts (or not — you don’t have to give them to anybody, and nobody would blame you for keeping them!).
