Crochet projects for Hanukkah? Of course, because as you all know, I love to crochet, and so crocheting is often a big part of my hanukkah crafting! With the holiday approaching quite quickly I thought I’d share some crochet projects from the archives to get you started, as the time is now! Last year I made little gift baskets crocheted using hardware store string with a chain stitch on top of that to strengthen the whole thing….which I have yet to share, but maybe later in the week? Fortunately for me I somehow had the forethought to do all my Chanukah gift bag crocheting last January, now just gotta find that box somewhere! Wishing you all a wonderful and light filled Chanukah filled with creativity and joy, now go get that crochet hook and get to work!

Happy Hanukkah crocheting, your family will love you for it! In fact my daughter is convinced that a collection of my crocheted drawstring bags made over the years is a good thing, so while I was actually thinking of sewing something this year, I just can’t deny her sweet request! And I’m certianly not one to turn down the chance to crochet something fairly quick and oh so meaningful for the family, right?
