Materials Needed:

  • Crochet hook suitable for the yarn weight
  • Yarn needle for weaving in ends
  • Scissors
  • Stuffing material (polyfill, cotton, etc.)

Instructions:

Tree:

  1. Start with a magic ring or ch 2.
  2. Work a certain number of sc stitches into the magic ring or second ch, then join with a sl st to form a circle.
  3. Begin crocheting in the round. Each round should have an increasing number of stitches to create the widening shape of the tree.
  4. Continue working rounds until your tree reaches the desired height. Remember to stuff the tree as you go, making sure it’s evenly filled.
  5. For the last round, you can work a round of sl st to create a clean edge.

Decorations:

  1. Crochet small shapes like stars, hearts, or baubles in various colors. These can be made using simple stitches like sc, hdc, or dc.
  2. Attach the decorations to the tree using a yarn needle and the same color yarn or a contrasting color.
  3. You can also add beads, buttons, or sequins to enhance the festive look.

Trunk:

  1. To create the trunk, choose a brown yarn and crochet a rectangle or cylinder that’s slightly wider than the base of the tree.
  2. Attach the trunk to the bottom of the tree using a yarn needle.

Final Touches:

  1. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
  2. If desired, attach a loop of yarn or ribbon at the top of the tree for hanging.
