I came up with this Christmas light pattern for a crochet throw blanket I designed for my aunt. Her birthday is the 22nd of December so it’s her tradition to drive around and look at Christmas lights.

She lives in Texas, right where Hurricane Harvey hit hardest and her home was flooded. Fortunately, they were able to renovate the damage to their home.

So I wanted to gift her an extra special gift, and this was just the perfect combo-a new blanket to snuggle up under in her “new-old” home.

Check out the Christmas Light Blanket Pattern that I added these little lights to here.

And now I’m here today to share the Christmas light pattern with you. I’ve included pictures so even if you’re new to crocheting, this pattern is easy to follow.  I love a fast project that uses scrap yarn-bonus!

  1. Thanks! I did. I just made a chain and then used my yarn needle and matching yarn to sew it down!

  2. Is there anywhere out there where I can find a knitted pattern for the christmas lights ? I’d soooo love to make some. I’m not good with converting patterns 🙁

  3. This is the cutest of all the Christmas patterns! It even rivals the elf ear hat !
    Thank you Jess, and Happy, Happy Holidays ❤️🎄
