Introduction

I've crocheted my entire life, and it’s always been one of my defining qualities. I am the girl who crochets! After years of practice, I’ve evolved my passion into a career; I’ve designed dozens of crochet patterns both professionally and under my own brand (Salena Baca Crochet).

A few years ago I decided to form a group with other ecommerce crochet designers. We focus on new yarns, designing crochet patterns, and networking; we are the Design Wars Challengers (designwarschallenge.com). This group has produced over 100 crochet patterns in the past two years, and we’ve grown a massive audience that follows our weekly design battles, too. We also work together to collaborate outside our online marketplaces, and this collection, Crochet for Christmas, is our debut publication!

These designs really feature our individual talents, specialties, styles, and tastes. There are patterns at every skill level (beginner, intermediate, and advanced), and they vary from quick and easy to detailed and beautifully intricate. We’ve created 29 patterns that will make your hearth, home, tree, table, and wardrobe much more festive for the holiday season.

Christmas is the perfect occasion for crocheting items to give or keep, and we hope that Crochet for Christmas will become your go-to resource this time of year, for many years to come.
