Wheat Stitch™ Pickle Ornament Crochet Pattern
Get ready to add a dash of tradition and a sprinkle of silliness to your holiday décor with the Wheat Stitch Crochet Pickle Ornament! Crafted in my signature Wheat Stitch™ texture, this festive favorite is quick, quirky, and guaranteed to put a smile on everyone's face.
We’re keepin’ it simple — and a little silly — just like a Christmas pickle should be! You’ll start with a basic chain and work a fun, easy 4-row repeat to create a soft, textured rectangle. Once that’s done, join the long edges to form a tube (hello, pickle shape!), seam the top closed, and add a twine loop so it can dangle proudly on your Christmas tree. Finish it off with a bit of stuffing and close the bottom — boom, you’ve officially crocheted a holiday legend. And don’t forget to add one of the adorable (and punny) printable gift tags for the final flourish!
Perfect for quick handmade gifts, white elephant exchanges, or adding a touch of cheeky charm to your Christmas tree, this pickle ornament is as fun to make as it is to share.
