WeCrochet Magazine Issue 5 is out, which means: NEW holiday crochet patterns! Today we’re talking about the patterns of the Warm Wishes collection, our winter holiday crochet patterns collection, featuring 9 brightly-colored projects to carry you through holiday celebrations this year. Customize the color palette to suit your home or celebration for any of these projects.
You can find all of these patterns in WeCrochet Magazine Issue 5. Each of these holiday crochet patterns is also available as an individual free download in the Patterns section of crochet.com. See the whole collection here: Warm Wishes Collection.
Now, let’s check out these fun crochet patterns!
The Revelry Cardigan
Since we already sneak peeked the pockets above, let’s jump in by talking about the Revelry Cardigan.
“Ugly” sweaters are a staple piece at every holiday party and winter outing. This comfortable and cozy oversized cardigan pattern takes that idea and tones it down to an everyday wear garment. With a trim, wearable silhouette (suitable for anyone), its focal points are the pockets, which utilize large-scale cross stitch embroidery to add customizable wintertime icons.
Aside from the Revelry cardigan, the rest of the patterns in this collection are home decor or holiday decorations. Let’s check them out!
Holiday Crochet Patterns: Blankets & Pillows
These blankets and pillows are fun and colorful, and most of them will make great home decor accents long after the holidays are over.
Holiday Lights Blanket Tunisian Checkerboard Throw
This holiday crochet patterns collection has two blankets: the Holiday Lights Blanket, which features a flurry of white popcorn bobbles dancing across a multicolor striped throw, and the Tunisian Checkerboard Throw, inspired by the classic board game. The whole family can help to make it (hello, pom-poms!), and you can use a portion of the throw to play checkers when you lay it out on the floor like a game board.

Winter Mosaic Pillow Warm Lights Pillow
We have three pillows in the Warm Wishes collection, each one featuring a different crochet technique: intarsia crochet, mosaic crochet, and filet crochet.
First up, the Holiday Gnome Pillow. Celebrating all the fun of the season, this throw pillow brings whimsy, color, and even a touch of fur to your holiday décor.
Next, the Winter Mosaic Pillow, which looks very intricate, but makes use of just double crochet, single crochet, and chains in an interlocking double layer (mosaic crochet).
Finally, the Warm Lights Pillow. A chunky openwork design on this pillow allows a background color to peek through, creating a two-layer lace touch for your home décor.
Holiday Decor Crochet Patterns
Finally, we have the colorful holiday decorations of the Warm Wishes collection, starting with the Color Pop Stocking. Make this pattern quickly with super bulky yarn (Tuff Puff), which means you can make enough for the whole family in a weekend.
Coordinate your Color Pop Stockings with the Pom-Pom Tree Skirt, which can be quickly made in Brava Bulky and finished with Tuff Puff Pom-Poms.

And finally, some cute crochet ornaments for your Christmas tree. These work up quickly with just a bit of worsted weight yarn (we used Brava), so they’re great for stash-busting small amounts of yarn, and will also be great package tie-ons or small gifts for friends, coworkers, teachers, etc.
