Crochet Warm Fuzzy Christmas Ornaments

November 1, 2019 by Ashleigh

The latest free pattern here on the blog – Crochet Warm Fuzzy Christmas Ornaments!

Read below about the inspiration, the perfect yarn I chose, and this beautiful stitch or scroll on down for the free pattern & video tutorial.

The Inspiration + Design

Since we moved into our new house earlier this year we pitched our old artificial Christmas tree and ordered a new gorgeous one on amazon! The reviews didn’t lie and it’s huge, stunning, pre-lit, and fills out the room perfectly. (Shop it here if ya like!)

I had some ornaments for our tree from years past but not nearly enough to fill our 9 ft. holiday dazzler, so I knew I’d be refreshing the decor. With all the new trends and non-traditional styles in stores these days I really wanted to do something different with our tree.

I am going with a blush, mauve, romantic theme and there is lots of sparkle, mixed metals (like silver, gold and copper) with plenty of pink. Frosted florals from the craft store soften and surprise, while glittery greenery picks add life and movement to the look. I’m in love with how it’s coming together!

I wanted to design a crochet pattern to fit with this theme and compliment the direction I was taking. It seemed like a no-brainer to crochet a simple ball ornament out of faux fur yarn for a soft, warm-fuzzies kind of look!

The Yarn

Lion Brand’s Go For Faux Thick and Quick is the textural star of the show in this pattern. I love this yarn for all sorts of wintery projects because it has such a soft, cuddly nature about it.

For those of you concerned about shedding – I used the colors “Baked Alaska” and “Pink Poodle” and neither color shed on me AT ALL. Some colorways shed a lot and others don’t shed at all so just be careful choosing colors! (I’ve also heard from good sources that “Blonde Elk” “Chinchilla” and “Mink” don’t shed either but I haven’t worked with these myself to confirm).

One ball of Go For Faux Thick & Quick makes two ornaments and that’s a bargain compared to what store-bought fur ornaments go for! These would make great gifts, “snowballs” for kiddos who live in warm climates to play with, or even to top hats in place of a traditional fur pom pom!

    I’m a little confused on the yarn. Your shopping list above indicates the yarn is a 6/Super Bulky, but the link provided takes you to the product on the Lion Brand site, which indicates this yarn is a 7/Jumbo weight. Can you clarify?

      Oops! The Lion Brand site is correct, I’ll alter the pattern. Thanks!
