2025 Crochet Ideas – Create Your Bucket List!

Happy New Year! I can hardly believe it is already so close to 2025, yet here we are.

The New Year is always a time for reflection in so many areas, but of course today we have to talk about crochet goals!

If you’re wondering what to crochet in the new year, I have some ideas for you.

What to Crochet in 2025

When I was thinking about a theme for this article, a few things came to mind.

I liked the concept of a crochet vision board (seeing all your goals and inspiration in one place on a board), but as a Christian, I don’t like the connotations that come with those.

Then of course there are New Years Resolutions…but let’s be honest. Upwards of 80% of people give up on their resolutions by the end of February.

And this is just crochet – your hobby! It probably isn’t the TOP priority of all the goals you have for this year.

So what could we do instead? A bucket list!

When I think of a bucket list, I think of things I really want to get to in life…but if I don’t get to them, its not the end of the world.

A lot less pressure, right?

Yeah, I thought so, too. With a new baby on the way, some of my crochet goals will have to be more of a bucket list than a hard and fast goal. And that’s okay.

When it comes to our hobbies, life often just happens.

So want to join me in creating a more relaxed list of crochet goals this year? Let’s make a bucket list together! Keep reading for some ideas on making your list. 😉

Crochet bucket List Ideas

1. Add Skills You Want to Learn

The first fun category of things to add to your bucket list is new skills. I love this one!

There is always more to learn in crocheting. Maybe you’re a newbie and you want to learn some new stitches.

Or maybe you’re advanced and you want to learn how to design something this year. There are options for everyone!

Here are some ideas from my website to get you started:

2. Add a Fun Pattern for Yourself

Next up, choose a fun pattern that is just for you: no one else! As wives and moms it can be easy to make things for everyone else. This is your chance to browse pinterest and find something fun YOU want to make!

Here are some ideas to get you started too:

3. Add Organization Goals That Will Make Crafting Easier

Now it’s time to get practical: organization! Your crochet goals don’t ALL have to be centered around making new things.

Maybe it’s time to make a goal of organizing your yarn – getting a new storage solution, for example!

Or maybe you have WIPs stashed in every corner and it’s time to find a good place for all of them.

Whatever it is, you know your home best. Pick something that will make your crochet AND overall life easier!

And stay tuned, because I have an article with organization ideas coming soon. 😉

4. Add Goals to Use What You Already Have

Now this one isn’t always as fun, but it is a good category to include…using what you already have.

This could mean lots of different things. It could mean doing some stash-busting challenges to use yarn you already have.

It could also mean finishing some WIPs you’ve been avoiding.

Either way, this is a great slot to add something you don’t really want to do, but you know you should do.

5. Add a Practical, Useful Pattern

Okay, back to the fun! Lol. Another great pattern to add to your list is something practical.

Something you can feel good about creating because it will be put to good use! Personally, I LOVE these types of patterns.

Here are some ideas:

Perfect for the Kitchen: Make a Crochet Dish Towel

Organize Plastic Bags: Bag Holder Crochet Pattern

6. Add Holiday Goals

I know, I know…we just finished with the Holidays. 😆 But, it is never too early to think ahead – and Christmas isn’t the only Holiday either!

For example, I want to add some other seasonal/holiday decor to my personal bucket list.

Valentine’s Day will be coming up here soon, and before you know it we’ll get into the later Holidays too. So brainstorm now!

Get Ahead on Valentine’s: Crochet Heart Coaster Pattern

Get Ahead on Easter: Crochet Cross Wall Hanging

Get REALLY ahead on Christmas: Tree Trivet Pattern

My Bucket List

Want to see a sample list? Here’s what is going on my bucket list this year:

1. Skills I want to learn: how to design baby clothes
2. Fun Pattern for me: make myself crochet socks!
3. Organization Goal: finish organizing my craft room and get all my WIPS in one place
4. Using What I Already Have: I have an old thrifted crochet bedspread (its beautiful!) that I need to repair before the baby comes
5. Useful Pattern: Make a crochet bib and/or other useful things for baby
6. Holiday Goals: Finish stockings for me, hubby, and new baby (couldn’t finish them this year because I’ve had pregnancy arthritis! Sad, I know!) Also make seasonal decor for my new home.

Conclusion

I hope you enjoyed these ideas for creating a 2025 crochet bucket list. There are really endless things and the awesome part is, you can customize it to make it your own. What will you put on yours? Grab a pen and paper and get started!
