- What’s the Best Yarn?
This round up post provides plenty of gorgeous crochet patterns to decorate your home with, this holiday season, but what’s a great pattern without the best yarn? I recommend that you use either cotton yarn for durability or acrylic yarn, both of which are washable. Most of the below free Christmas crochet patterns use worsted weight yarn. I recommend Paintbox Cotton Aran or Paintbox Simply Aran Acrylic to make your Christmas amigurumi crochet patterns, because it comes in a huge selection of colors, doesn’t split and provides a beautiful and soft finished product.
