I absolutely love handmade holiday decorations. These cute little Christmas trees make great ornaments, but they could also be put on a shelf as decorations.

They work up super quick and use very little yarn. Make some for all of your friends and family, and use up that scrap yarn you have laying around. Add buttons and beads to make them extra special.

Abbreviations:

ch: chain

sc: single crochet

sl st: slip stitch

inc: increase (2 single crochets in one loop)

dec: decrease (pull yarn through loop, pull yarn through second loop, yarn over and pull through all loops)

Materials needed:

Any worsted weight yarn. I used Red Heart Super Saver.

G (4mm) crochet hook

Poly-fil

Yarn needle

Ribbon

Beads, buttons and thread

This pattern is worked “in-the-round”, and stitches are worked through both loops unless otherwise noted.
