The Crochet Confection Ornaments are a set of four handmade ornaments that make a sweet addition to the holidays.

Design Inspiration

Happy holidays! Ring in the season with these crochet confection ornaments, the first set in my Twelve Days of Christmas ornament collection. This set is a tribute to the sweets of December. The cake pop is for my daughter who is forever obsessed with cake pops. The chocolate snowman is a mini version of the stuffed chocolate snowman that my grandmother gave to me further back than I can remember (my favorite holiday treasure). The milk and cookies and hot cocoa represent holiday memories of baking and drinking hot chocolate after a cold day playing in the snow. I used scrap yarn to create these ornaments and list the colors below, but these can be customized in any colors to fit you and/or your family.
