How To Make Christmas Party Decorations Using your Cricut

November 18, 2021 by Shellie Wilson

Christmas is here and if you are lucky enough to have a Cricut machine then you are going to love this roundup. People are often surprised to learn that I do not have a Cricut machine. Truth be told I would love one, but I am not sure how many times I would use it, as generally, I do not get a lot of time to craft. However, I would love just labeling everything in my house.

I have used a Cricut cake which was lots of fun. One day I hope to get a small Cricut machine, Maybe Santa will bring me one.

In the meantime for all my readers who DO have a Cricut machine here is a list of amazing crafts you can make for your next Christmas party. Whether it is for the office Christmas party or your own party at home.

I love all of these Christmas Cricut ideas, but If I was to select my favorite Cricut craft it would have to be the Retro Christmas decorations.

Book Review: Knits for Little Ones

If you have a little one in your life, Knits for Little Ones by Lotte Rahbek is full of sweet patterns for kids ages 0-2 inspired by nature and the sea.

Rahbek is a designer of Nordic inspired knits and these projects include lots of simple but nice details like stripes, cables, ruffles and eyelets.

There are no knitting instructions in the book and one page that includes descriptions of a few techniques like raglan shaping, picking up stitches and German short rows, so it’s good if you have some knitting knowledge under your belt before you pick up this book. There is a little chart that shows some of the skills required in different projects such as I-cord, picking up stitches or cable and lace patterns.

The skill levels are described as beginner, somewhat experienced and experienced. Of the 22 patterns, 6 are rated for beginners, 7 for somewhat experienced and 9 for experienced knitters. I’m not entirely sure I agree with her ratings, which put anything with cables or lace in the experienced section, including a baby blanket that’s worked flat and mostly garter stitch with easy cabled stripes.

The patterns for beginners include socks worked on double pointed needles, which I wouldn’t consider a beginner skill. Others are a bottom up raglan worked in garter stitch with stripes, a colorblocked raglan worked from the bottom up, a pair of shorts with stripes and a drawstring waistband, top down leggings with an elastic waistband and a little knit collar with a ruffle.

Other projects include that pointed bonnet featured on the cover, a twirly dress, bloomers, a romper, cardigans and a ruffled vest, to name a few.

She leans heavily on ruffles and little cables and embellishments, which feels a little repetitive but does make the collection feel cohesive. I’d have loved to see more colorwork, but that’s clearly not what she was going for.

The photographs of kids of various ages on the beach are darling and will make you wish you had a baby and a beach to re-create some of these scenes.

If you like simple designs with a few fun details and have a kiddo under 2 to knit for, this collection is lovely and will result in pieces you are sure to treasure.

About the book: 176 pages, 22 patterns. Published 2025 by Penguin UK. Suggested retail price $16.99.
