I can’t believe Ramadan (or Ramzan as we say in Pakistan) is just a week away. It’s always my absolute favourite time of the year. It’s just a lovely time to be able to go inwards and reflect. And of course, the yummy food! And then it’s capped off by my favourite time of year: Eid! I was thinking it would be nice to crochet something to celebrate this special month. I couldn’t find too much out there so I thought I would put together a round up of crochet ideas for Ramadan and Eid. While some of these crochet patterns aren’t specifically designed with Ramadan in mind, I will share some ideas on how these can be adapted too.
Crochet Decor for Ramadan and Eid
In getting into the festivities of Ramadan and Eid, it’s really nice to decorate the house to mark the festive season. We have some really fun ideas for crochet decor that we can use to decorate our homes for Ramadan.
Ramadan Lantern Wallhanging
I love this gorgeous crochet Ramadan wallhanging by Top Knot Crochet. This wallhanging crochet pattern is beginner friendly and would make for beautiful decor for your home. I really love the lantern made with bobble stitches. They give the wallhanging such lovely texture. You can find the free pattern here.
Ramadan Crochet Lantern Garland
I love this cute crochet lantern garland by 365 Days of Dana. The best part? It comes with a video tutorial along with the written pattern so that you can follow along if you’re having any trouble. You can find the free pattern here.
Crochet Crescent Moon and Star Garland
The crescent moon is such an important symbol for Ramadan. This gorgeous moon pattern by Octopus Crochet Designs would make a beautiful crochet garland to decorate your house. It would be lovely to string around your dining room to give it an extra special vibe during this season. You can find the free pattern here.
She also has a lovely star pattern that you can add to the garland for a lovely moon and star crochet garland. You can find the star pattern here
Ramadan Kareem or Eid Mubarak Garland
A garland that says Ramadan Kareem or Eid Mubarak would also look great in your dining area. You could crochet the letters alone or put them on these flags (which would look gorgeous in an assortment of colours!) for your Ramadan and Eid crochet decor. These crochet letters by Moogly can be in upper case or lower case. She also has crochet number patterns in case you would like to add the year (although I prefer things to be reusable so I don’t know if I would!). You can find the free pattern here.
Mason Jar Lanterns
These stunning mason jar lanterns by Celtic Knot Crochet would be so lovely as a table center piece or to put up along your mantle. I love that they are so simple – and they can be used as decor around the year too! You can find the free pattern here.
Star Garland
This star garland by Creativity, Patience, and Hope is really simple to make and would be really lovely to string around the house. You can find the free pattern here
Ramadan Crochet Calendar
It would be lovely to crochet a calendar with pockets for each day for children to mark the month of Ramadan. Like Advent calendars, you could put a sweet treat for each day or use it as space to share a special dua for the day, an act of kindness prompt, or even a date to open their fast to get children into the spirit of the month.
While there are plenty of Advent calendars, I couldn’t find a crochet calendar for Ramadan. So I’m sharing a few calendars that can be adapted for Ramadan. Since Advent calendars are 24 days long, these will have to be adapted for the 30 days of Ramadan.
House-Shaped Calendar
Gathered has a really cute calendar in the shape of a house. You could add an additional six windows in the roof (hello attic!) to ge the 30 that you need or you could add a few rows to the house base and then a few more to the roof to make it proportional. You can find the free pattern here.
Modern Calendar
This modern calendar by My Poppet Makes is really simple but super cute! You would just have to increase the length of the calendar to allow for the additional six days. The last two days could be centered at the bottom of the last row. You can find the free pattern here.
Eid Crochet Patterns
As Ramadan progresses, it’s time to get ready for Eid celebrations! We found fun crochet patterns that can be used for Eid gifting to make your Eid more colourful and handmade!
Crochet Doll with Shalwar Kameez
My favourite part about Eid is dressing up. This year you can give the special kid in your life a doll dressed up in its Eid best as an Eid gift to mark this wonderful holiday. This crochet doll (which was designed to be Malala Yousafzai) has a lovely salwar kameez. She has a scarf on her head but she’s part of the Kozu Palm Pals series of small crochet dolls so her scarf can be traded for any of the hair styles of the dolls in the series. The clothes are removable so you can make a whole collection for them to be played with throughout the year! You can find the free pattern here.
Crochet Bangles
Eid (at least here in Pakistan!) means lots of fun and colourful bangles! I love these beautiful twisted chain bangles by Planet June. The pattern is quite simple and you can add a crocheted touch to your old bangles to repurpose them for Eid! You can find the free pattern here.
Crochet Eidhi Envelopes
Eid means Eidhi which means beautiful envelopes! This cute envelope pattern by Elisa’s Crochet would make such a lovely envelope for Eidhi. And the best part? It’s reusable so it can be used onwards by the recipient, spreading the love! You can find the free pattern here.
Eid Amigurumi Dolls
If you’re looking for fun amigurumi to crochet for Eid, The Blue Elephants has a lovely Hajj collection that you could use. It’s so important for children to have dolls that look like them and reflect their cultural experience. With a crochet Kaaba plushie, a Haji doll, and a couple of Muslimah dolls, this would be a really lovely Eid gift. You can find the free patterns here.
Other Crochet Ideas for Ramadan and Eid
Here are some other great ideas of things that you can crochet this Ramadan and Eid.
Crochet Quran Cover
Ramadan is a time of reading the Quran and reflection. This simple granny square Quran crochet cover by Crochet Crosia Home is a beautiful way to keep the Holy Book. It would also make a lovely gift this Ramadan. You can find the free pattern here.
Crochet Kufee
This crochet kufee pattern by Fruitful Fusion is a lovely make for Ramadan. This pattern has three different variations to choose from: a simple pattern, a mesh variation, and a diamond variation. You can find the free pattern here.
