Posh Pete The Elf Doll
I like the Elf on shelf idea, but I found the Elf to be a little creepy. I wanted to make an elf, that was cute, sweet, fun and big enough to play with. This Doll is soft and lovable. If you start him now, he just might be ready for Christmas.
Mr. Fox Toy
If you’re looking for a youthful, fun project to crochet for Christmas, check out this toy foxy. Mr. Fox Toy is so sweet and fun, and is the perfect counterpart to the adventurous Mrs. Fox Toy. Mr. Fox has a removable jacket and scarf for easy cleaning, or if you wanted to make him a couple other outfits, too. He’s entirely stitched up with single crochets, so this is an easy project with a big payoff.

Angelica measures 12 inches tall and is great for cuddling, decorating, or gift giving! This is a free pattern by Loops and Love Crochet, including lots of detailed photos to help you along the way!

Crochet Santa Claus
This adorable little guy would look great in a Christmas scene on your mantel, or in a Christmas village in his own sleigh. A Crochet Santa Claus would also be a cute ornament, or a fun stocking stuffer from Santa, himself! What better way to leave a mark than to leave a miniature version of him behind to play with?
Crochet Mrs. Claus
If you’re in need of a little tender loving care, an Amigurumi Crochet Mrs. Claus is the perfect solution.

Christmas Pudding Bear
I haven’t ever eaten Christmas pudding, and while I’m not altogether familiar with Christmas pudding, the treat looks unmistakably festive and delicious! I wanted to combine this seasonal treat with a cute bear. The bear took around an hour and a half from start to finish. It’s a great project to start on a chilly evening!

Christmas Reindeer
This little reindeer works up quickly and makes a cute gift for the holidays! I provided a photo tutorial for attaching the legs so that the pattern is more accessible to beginner amigurumi makers. In addition to yarn and stuffing, I used 6mm safety eyes, red felt scraps, pink & black thread, and a tiny jingle bell to create my reindeer. Alternatively, you could decorate your reindeer with whatever you happen to have on hand.
