Christmas Amigurumi Knitting Patterns – Knitting

A few years ago I did a post full of knit elves and gnomes to knit for Christmas, but there are a lot more options when it comes to Christmas knit amigurumi. Use these little characters as seasonal decor, ornaments or to give as gifts!

These little knit gingerbread people from Grey Bear Akswokrat are super sweet and would be great to knit up for a dramatic retelling of one of the many gingerbread man/woman/baby story books. They’re knit flat and while the slightly fuzzy yarn isn’t required it does add to the cuteness!

I really like snowmen as a motif in the winter months. Maybe because it’s a “Christmas” decoration you don’t have to put away when the tree comes down? Whatever the reason, if you need to add some snowpeople to your collection, check out this pattern from Warm And KnittedS. These snow folk have stitched arms as well as knit hats and scarves, so they’re ready for whatever the season has in store. They’re also worked on straight needles and call for sport weight yarn. 

This Christmas moose from Evdjenia Amigurumi AU is so cute I don’t know how we’re still talking about it instead of knitting it right now. This one is worked in the round with a mohair blend yarn and the moose is perfectly accessorized with a sweater, socks and a little Christmas tree all its own. The pattern notes it is best for advanced knitters. 

Let’s go from a moose to mice! Or a mouse-tivity scene, to be more precise. This knit nativity scene is filled with mice in costume, and everything is knit from the sheep to the wise men’s gifts to baby Jesus mouse’s little basket. The pattern is from Cillas Purls and while doing the whole set would be a lot of work, it’s a charming design you’ll love to display for years. 

Looking for something a little easier? How about a knit penguin with a little striped scarf? This pattern from Cute Knit Toy has a sweater integrated into the body (or you can knit it plain) and a scarf knit separately. The pattern includes dozens of photos and videos in case you need help. 

And this set of amigurumi ornaments from Huggable Bears is great to use on the tree or to make into keyring charms or zipper pulls for backpacks. The pattern includes Santa, a reindeer, snowman, penguin and gingerbread man. They’re worked flat and seamed, which can be a little fiddly but the results are worth the work.
