Crochet For A Frozen Princess

I think I must be the only adult on the planet who has not seen this movie or even heard the entire song that every little princess (and some princes too) is singing.  But, I am aware that the movie Frozen has been an amazing smash hit and that its impact among children of a certain age (could that be all of us?) have fallen under its spell.

Laura has created this Princess Anna inspired pattern and is offering it to all of us for free!  So, if you have been asked, begged, or cajoled to make something – anything – Frozen for your little ones, this is it.  It’s such a pretty hat that even an un-Frozen princess might like it too.  Ahemmmm.  Me, for instance?

Check out Laura’s blog and get this pattern today.

With the release of the second Frozen movie everything crochet Elsa, Ana and Frozen is going to be crazy popular again. These crochet patterns are sure to be a big hit with your little Frozen fan. Have you seen the second Frozen movie yet? Maybe you haven’t even seen the first Frozen movie?   You may want to take some tissues to the 2nd movie as it gets a little sad at times.

Crochet Christmas Dove Ornaments With a Printable Gift Poem

There is something especially lovely about a handmade gift that comes with a few thoughtful words. These crochet Christmas birds pair a folded yarn ornament with a decorative poem card, turning a little crochet project into a keepsake.

The design has a rounded head, a tiny embroidered eye and beak, and a forked tail. A broad overlapping section forms the wing, giving the bird that folded, origami-inspired appearance. It is a simple-looking shape with plenty of handmade charm.

A Crochet Bird That Doubles as a Gift Topper

What appeals to me most is the idea of using the bird twice. Tie it onto a wrapped present as a gift topper, then let the recipient hang it on their Christmas tree afterwards. The wrapping gets recycled, the ribbon goes into somebody’s “far too useful to throw away” drawer, and the bird becomes part of next year’s decorations.

Cream would be a lovely choice for a Christmas dove, while cranberry red, sage green and dusty blue offer a different seasonal look. Keeping the wing plain lets the crochet texture and folded layers stand out.

For a personalised crochet gift tag, an embroidered initial is a sweet addition. One small letter gives the ornament a purpose without needing to squeeze an entire name onto the wing.

The Printable Christmas Dove Card

The accompanying printable brings the gift together. Watercolour-style holly, evergreen branches, berries and gold accents frame the card, with space above the poem for attaching the crocheted bird.

The original Christmas poem shares wishes for peace, joy and love, then invites the recipient to hang the dove on their tree. There is also a “With love from” line, so the finished card feels like a complete little present.

I would print it on firm cardstock and attach the bird with a removable thread or ribbon loop. That way, the recipient can lift it off the card easily when it is time to decorate the tree.

It is a thoughtful Christmas gift concept, especially for crafters who enjoy making small decorations with a personal touch. The bird and poem card belong together: a little handmade ornament, a Christmas wish, and something to bring out again next December.
