Free Sugar Cookie Crochet Pattern

This sugar cookie crochet pattern is quick and easy. Originally I intended them as Christmas ornaments but I think they would also be fun for brooches, hair clips, keychains and play food.

Crochet sugar cookie

The top and bottom of the cookie are worked separately and you’ll be rejoining with beige to slip stitch the two pieces together. There’s no stuffing required and it’s nice because your ends are hidden inside (still make sure to secure them well).

Don’t be intimidated by the snowflake design on the top. Embroidery isn’t one of my strong points but if I can do it so can you. When you break it down it’s really just a bunch of lines and I’ve included a close up photo to help you out.

If it’s too much for you or you’re just not feeling the winter vibe, you could always make it even simpler and just add small different coloured stitches as ‘sprinkles’.

Decorating is part of the fun of baking and crochet is no different. It’s the small details that can really make a project shine.

Notes

    1. Hi! Round 4 is a regular increase round. I’ve written it so the increases are staggered so you get a cleaner circle but most of the time you’ll probably see it written as [2 sc, inc] x6. Hope that helps.
