Free Crochet Ganesh Pattern

January 31, 2017 by Shellie Wilson

Hindu tradition offers that Ganesha is a god of wisdom, success and good luck. I think we could all do with a little more of those.

You can grab the free Crochet Ganesha pattern here by downloading the free crochet pattern as a PDF.

The original website has been removed but we were able to find the original pattern for this Ganesha If you are able to locate the original designer we would love for her to update this file so please let us know.

The pattern has a plain colored Ganesh who has not yet been embellished. You can use the photo above as a guide for decorating your Ganesha.

We have also found this Youtube Video for anyone who requires guidance. (it is not in English)

    Yet another offensive post. The gods of religions other than yours are not “good luck charms” for you to appropriate, nor to use for decoration.

    I’m Hindu. I’m not offended. I’m more than happy for Ganesh to decorate anyone’s house and spread his wisdom. Hopefully he could live in your house and spread some wisdom there, because no one should be this easily offended. And I think that any Hindu offended by this, needs to study Hinduism some more, because they’ve clearly missed some of the core philosophical ideas that make up this religion.

Christmas Tree Crochet Scarf – A Fun and Festive Pattern Worth Revisiting

Some crochet patterns are practical, some are pretty, and some are just pure holiday fun. This Christmas Tree Crochet Scarf from CraftBits falls firmly into that last category, and honestly, that is exactly why it caught my eye again. It is quirky, cheerful, and the kind of novelty scarf that makes people smile before you have even had a chance to explain that yes, you really did make it yourself. The pattern comes from CraftBits and creates a scarf made up of Christmas tree motifs joined together into one gloriously festive wearable.

If this scarf looks a little familiar, you might already have spotted it in our roundup of 18 Free Christmas Crochet Scarf Patterns To Make As Gifts or in our collection of 15 Fun And Silly Crochet Scarf Patterns. It has definitely popped up on Crochet.CraftGossip before, and for good reason. It is one of those patterns that manages to be both wearable and wonderfully ridiculous, which is a very fine line in the world of festive crochet.

What I like most about this design is that it does not try to be subtle. It fully embraces the novelty Christmas vibe, and sometimes that is exactly what a seasonal project needs. The scarf is made using repeated tree shapes, so it has that satisfying motif-based construction that many crocheters enjoy. It also gives you the chance to play with embellishments like pom poms and stars, which adds even more personality to the finished piece. According to the CraftBits pattern, the scarf uses Red Heart Super Saver yarn, a size I hook, and simple decorative extras including felt and pom poms.

This would be such a fun project for a holiday party outfit, an ugly sweater event, a handmade gag gift, or just for someone who genuinely loves festive accessories. We all know at least one person who would wear this proudly while serving Christmas lunch or turning up to school pickup in December like the absolute queen of holiday spirit.

It is also the sort of pattern that feels a little nostalgic in the best possible way. CraftBits has had this project around for years, and it still holds up because novelty crochet never really goes away. It just waits patiently for the rest of us to catch up again. And let’s be honest, there is something refreshing about a project that does not take itself too seriously. Not every scarf needs to be neutral, elegant, or sensible. Some scarves are allowed to be actual Christmas trees.

So yes, you may have seen this one before in our scarf roundups, but I think it deserves its own little spotlight too. If you are in the mood to make something playful, memorable, and completely unapologetic for the holiday season, this one is worth another look.
