🎄 Fa-La-La-Fabulous: Crochet & Knit Christmas Garland Patterns You’ll Love

Let’s talk about Christmas garland — the unsung hero of handmade holiday décor! Whether it’s draped over the mantel, wrapped around the Christmas tree, or strung along the staircase, a festive garland brings instant holiday magic to any space.

And you know I love a good crochet garland pattern — from colorful granny squares to pom-poms, mini stockings, and even tiny trees! If it can be stitched, I’ll turn it into a yarn garland DIY faster than you can say fa-la-la-la-fabulous.

But don’t forget about the knitters! Knit garland patterns are just as charming — think i-cord chains, stars, and simple festive links that can add texture and warmth to your home this holiday season.

🎄 Handmade Garland Ideas to Try This Year

Whether you’re decking the halls for a party or just love creating handmade Christmas decorations, garlands are the perfect touch to make your space feel merry and bright.

🧶 Fun Historical Fact:

Did you know? The tradition of garlands dates back to ancient Rome, where people decorated with greenery during winter solstice celebrations to symbolize new life. Centuries later, we’re still keeping that cozy tradition alive—just with a lot more yarn and sparkle!


Get inspired to make your own holiday garland magic with some of my favorite free crochet and knit Christmas garland patterns. Handmade holiday cheer? Yes, please! 🎁

    By July I have my Christmas shopping list planned, if not complete. List of baking for this year so I can buy more expensive ingredients on sale and freeze them.
