I know, I know. Christmas? Really? In July? It’s warm and balmy and sunny out there—why on Earth would we want to be thinking about Christmas? And crochet afghan patterns? Have you looked at a thermometer lately?
Well, the truth is, this year is already more than halfway over, and Christmas is only 158 days away!
For those of us that love Christmas and find every part of the celebration wonderful, we are antsy for some Christmas music and a warm cup of hot cocoa next to a cozy fire. But even if you are not cheery for the holidays, you might need to start thinking about December and everything it brings.
I need Crochet Christmas in July. Otherwise, I know I will just put off the present-making process until it’s too late. I will be rushing at the last minute to get my Christmas crochet patterns done, or maybe I won’t finish at all. I also know that my Christmas-presents-to-get list continues to expand as my family members grow older, get married, and have babies (yay!). This means if I am to make presents for each of them, I need to start soon… meaning, now.
This list of crochet afghan patterns will help jump-start your holiday preparations, bringing you adorable ideas for everyone on your list. I know that I would love to receive a crochet Christmas afghan as a holiday gift, because who doesn’t love a present they can snuggle with? Plus, a lot of these are gorgeous even outside of the holiday season, so they will be useful all the year round.
From granny squares to hexagons to mile a minute crochet, this list will have something to inspire you to begin. Grab your hooks, and get going!
Crochet Motif Afghan Patterns

I think if I only get to make one afghan for this holiday season, it will be from this crochet motif afghan section. There are so many great options. Some of these patterns scream Christmas, with decorated trees and wreaths galore, and others simply have a nice holiday design with red, green, or white. I love how mesmerizing the repeating motifs are!

Crochet seaming can sometimes be tedious, taking time and energy that you would rather be spending somewhere else. I’m with you, which is why these crochet Christmas patterns are on the list.
