17 Nordic Themed Crochet Patterns
There are many wonderful symbols from Nordic culture, each with its own story and significance. Characterized with elegant designs and minimalism, Nordic patterns are a great way to make unique items for your home or to gift to loved ones. This year, I’m hosting a Mosaic Nordic CAL and it’s amazing to see the patterns come to life as crocheters from all over the world make the sections in so many vibrant colors. While you’re working on that (or if you have no idea what I’m talking about, you can find out the details here), I thought I’d round up some gorgeous Nordic themed crochet patterns for you to get ready to gift (or keep for yourself!) before the holidays.

1. SNOWFLAKE TAPESTRY BAG BY NICKI’S HOMEMADE CRAFT
This is a simple beginner-friendly crochet tapestry cross-body bag which has an eye-catching design that gives it a unique look. You can make it in contrasting colors to really get the snowflake to pop.

This beanie is worked up in the rounds after you crochet the brim and has just the right amount of color for you to match it with any outfit. The puff stitches give it an added bit of texture as well.
4. CHRISTMAS STOCKING BY BURGUNDY AND BLUSH
If you don’t want to go for store-bought stockings but don’t have enough time to make something super complex, this is a quick pattern using the herringbone stitch with options for single color or two-color contrast. The pattern also includes instructions for a Christmas Tree or star design.
5. NORDIC WINTER AFGHAN CRC CAL BY JUNIPER & OAKES
Last year, I hosted this fabulous crochet-along which features 12 unique squares made with the corner-to-corner crochet technique. This is an heirloom project of mine because it depicts many of the images from the holiday season which have been a part of my childhood and are now a part of my children’s too. If you’re looking to make something special for your loved ones, this is a great project to dive into!

11. CHRISTMAS TREE MOSAIC COASTERS BY MY CROCHET SPACE
It’s always good to have a set of coasters lying around, especially when the celebrations start (we don’t want eggnog and hot cocoa stains on our tabletops!). In this pattern, you don’t have to worry about weaving in ends because they make a great fringe and the design is so simple and quick, you can make as many as you want in no time!
12. NORDIC ICE BEANIE BY LOVABLE LOOPS

This is a slouchy beanie CAL which has so many intricate details. But don’t be daunted by it, each panel of the beanie is explained over seven parts with clear instructions, video tutorial, and helpful tips. Worked one-by-one, it’ll be much easier for you to get together and is a unique present for a loved one.
15. NORDIC DOVE ORNAMENT BY BLUE STAR CROCHET

This classic crochet Christmas stocking features a timeless Fair Isle snowflake design and when made in two colors like these, allows the design to really stand out. With the detailed instructions and introduction to the method used, you can even make this pattern if you’re new to Fair Isle crocheting. The video tutorial will also help out at any points you’re stuck at.
