Crochet Christmas Lights
A quick and easy crochet pattern to make Christmas lights. These amigurumi Christmas lights are inspired by the Twinkle Lights from the video game Banjo Kazooie for the Nintendo 64.
Hi everyone!
Banjo Kazooie for the Nintendo 64 was one of my favorite games as a child. I loved exploring all the different worlds, and the Christmas world known as Freezie Peaks was so fun and colorful. In that section of the game, you can choose to save some twinkle lights being eaten by monsters while they try to climb a tree.
As a homage to that game, I decided to create an easy crochet pattern inspired by the twinkle lights from Banjo Kazooie. This amigurumi Christmas light pattern works up quickly and in one piece.
