Free Christmas Pudding Applique Crochet Pattern
Copyright © Hookfully

This free Christmas pudding applique crochet pattern is a quick and easy project for the holidays. I love Christmas pudding and I love crochet! So I combined the two together and this is what I come up with. I’m going to be making a few of these little puddings to decorate my Christmas tree this year and I’m also going to glue some to handmade Christmas cards.

Christmas pudding applique description

This Christmas pudding crochet pattern has many uses. When assembled it’s quite stiff so as well as an appliqué you could use it alone as a brooch, fridge magnet, Christmas tree decoration, Christmas card topper…. the list is endless! Alternatively the appliqués can be sewn onto almost any of your crochet creations to make them look festive.

How to crochet a Christmas pudding applique

To make to Christmas pudding I used DK (weight 3) yarn in 4 colours. I chose to use traditional brown, cream, green and red. The appliqué measures between 5.5/6.5cm depending one your hook size. Using a 3mm crochet hook will give you a 5.5cm pudding, additionally using a 4mm crochet hook will give you a 6.5cm Christmas pudding. The crochet pattern is easy to make. That being said you will need to know how to start with a magic ring. You’ll also need to know how to increase along with basic crochet stitches. The pudding is made in 3 parts and they will need to be sewn together so you will need a very basic knowledge of sewing to complete the pattern.
