Christmas Tree
Crochet Pattern for Christmas Tree Ornament
This cute little Christmas tree is super easy to make. I have made them in all sizes and colors. When I first started, I used traditional green for the tree, brown for the trunk and red for the tree stand. I would decorate the tree with beads as ornaments. Now the wild woman in me likes to use all the colors and even better if they are sparkly! Whether you are a traditionalist or not, this little tree makes a terrific addition to your Christmas tree, gift topper or as a gift itself.
Materials:
- Small amount of yarn
- Crochet Hook
- Small amount of fiberfill
- Needle
- Optional Ribbon bows.
Note:
Size of yarn and crochet hook will determine size of Christmas Tree Ornament. I used a fingering weight sparkling yarn doubled with size 10 crochet thread for tree. Size 10 crochet thread doubled up also was used for trunk and stand. A size 2 crochet hook was used.
