Want to continue your Crochet Christmas Character Afghan or replace a square that you already made? Then this post is for you! I have added a bonus square into the mix: A Candy Cane! And because there are still so many different Christmas icons and images that weren’t included in my version of the blanket, I am including links to a variety of other graph ideas below! Many of my readers have been coming up with alternate graph patterns and posting them in my Repeat Crafter Me Crochet Facebook Group. Feel free to join us!
You can find the 9 original afghan squares and directions on how I’m making these squares by following the links below:
- Santa
- Christmas Tree
- Frosty the Snowman
- Santa’s Sleigh
- Elf
- Gingerbread Man
- Wreath
- Rudolph
- Christmas Stocking

Other options! Remember that if you want these to be included in the Christmas Character Afghan the graphs need to be 25×25 pixel squares. All original graphs and their creators can be found in my Repeat Crafter Me Crochet Facebook Group. Check the “Files” tab in the group to find PDF printables of many of these.

I was writing down each color for the other squares just now and saw this! I LOVE it!!!! Thanks!!
How are you able to make the squares work so that there is no color overlap when you change colors? I keep having an issue where you can see the change and it looks like things are not lining up correctly. Do you change color while making the slip stitch into the chain 2 (or chain 3) space or when you are completing the previous stitch.
Thank you!!
To change colors in single or half double crochet you finish your last stitch up till you have two loops on the hook and then you pull the next color through and voila your next color begins. Hope this helps.

With the c2c I think it is better to change color when you do the slip stitch in the chain 2or3. Color change is not so noticeable. I hope this helps
I just found your wonderful site – so excited to get started on these wonderful ideas – thank you so much for this c2c Christmas afghan pattern! Absolutely beautiful and all the other wonderful ideas you have shared with us.
Thank you! This is sooooooooooo awesome!
Thank You! I’m so exctied 🙂
I have not started yet and may have to hold off until the beginning of the year. Thank you so much Sarah for so much inspiration, you are my first go-to for patterns.
Oh my goodness so many cute ideas! Y’all are so talented!!!
Like I don’t have enough to crochet!!! But, I just LOVE all the options. I really like the nativity squares. Your afghan is so great – I loved following along and watching it being created. You are my “crochet hero”!!!!
Finding it difficult to find thc2c written patterns for the angel nutcracker xmas pudding xmas bauble etc wondering how i can find them
Love the candy stick! I have all of them on my Christmas 2016 to do list!
what about silver bells and poinsettia??? maybe snowflakes??? just a thought
I just found all these awesome blocks! I’ve been following the Christmas blocks, and they are all so pretty. I have a special folder where I have saved them, I’ve not been able to keep up, so I want to keep them for later.
Thank You So Much,
Lisa Williams
These are so lovely!!! I hope you’ll be showing your finished afghan, I would love to see what you do to finish it off!!
How big is this blanket that you made with the 9 different squares?
I was wondering if you block your work? I finished the first square and it came out great except that it didn’t look exactly square so I blocked it and it looks much better.
You do such amazing work. I love to look at all your patterns and finished products. I wish you were my next door neighbor!! Thank you!!
Hoping to get started on the beautiful gingerbread house but I’m still waiting to be accepted by the group so I can view the file. Hope they let me in soon so I can get started!
Is there anyway the Facebook page could be made public so those of us not on Facebook can see the patterns and comments?
Love this project! Thanks for the patterns!!
Are you to post a written verse of the candy cane square? I can’t print out the gragh and it is too hard to see it on my tablet. Please post a wriiten pattern for the candy cane square so I can make one for my Christmas afghan or make a pillow to go with it. Thanks
Thanks for writing out the candy cane pattern lovely patterns
I am having trouble getting the Stocking.I keep getting and error message.Please help out saving this for a future cold month.
Hi,
First of all, thanks soooo much for sharing the pattern. I hope I can get it done for this Christmas 😛 I’m printing them out now, however, I keep on getting error message when I clicked on the link for the christmas stocking. Hope it’s just the problem from my side?
I have everything printed and would like to start this. I’m curious about the color changes–do you carry the colors along, cut and join each time and weave in the ends, or use a bobbin system? Thanks for any help, I’m really excited to start this, you did a beautiful job and I appreciate that you are so generous with your talent.
I am new to c2c. Please tell me how to decrease!
Just wanted to let you know how popular the candy cane design is. I think that at least 50 people have repinned from my pin in the last month. I am not the only one who Loves it!
thank you

Hello! I love your work Ana have admired it for some time now. My question is, do you have any videos that I can watch to help me learn this type of technique? It seems like I had come across some videos previously of yours, teaching this but I can’t seem to find them now. Thanks for all your help.
Has anyone written out the pattern for the
Noel
Nutcracker or to the
Snowflake?
I’m trying but having such a hard time!
Thank you!
Cecelia
I also would like to find the patterns for the nutcracker, Noel, snowflake,, and the christmas pudding. I also keep getting an error message to the links. Any way we can possibly get these patterns. Would like to start another blanket with these squares.
I love your patterns. Instead of making the squares into a blanket, I am using them as place mats on my dining room table. I put a red table cloth on first, then the placemats. I covered everything with a clear plastic cover. It makes my table look so festive.
