1. “…rocking around the CHRISTMAS TREE” Ornament
Let’s start this holiday round-up with flat Christmas tree patterns that can be used as ornaments, appliques, or even coasters! This first pattern is a super-easy ornament that uses basic stitches and works up in 15 minutes or less. It’s perfect for beginner crocheters, and you can use any weight of yarn.
2. Christmas Tree Coasters
This tree coaster is super festive with its little star on top, and it’s perfect for setting down a steaming mug of hot cocoa. For this pattern, you’ll need weight 4 yarn, knowledge of easy stitches, and also knowledge of how to read a stitch diagram.
3. Christmas Tree Ornament
These cute trees are worked from the center out in a granny square style. Each tree is made of just four rounds, so they’ll work up really quickly. Just grab some sport-weight yarn, and you’ll have bunches of fun ornaments in no time. Plus, the pattern has a very helpful video tutorial.
4. Christmas Tree Coaster
This square coaster with its Christmas tree design is so festive and cozy, the perfect place to set down a mug of apple cider or peppermint tea. For this pattern, you’ll need to know how to do color changes and tapestry crochet, but don’t worry if you haven’t used this technique before—the designer has included a link to a tapestry crochet guide for beginners.
5. Mosaic Christmas Tree Coaster
I adore this coaster with its gorgeous colors and the way it looks like a cozy winter rug! The pattern uses easy stitches, though you’ll need to be familiar with how to work in the front and back loops. This project also uses the mosaic technique, which is explained well in the pattern, so it’s a good choice if you have a bit of crochet experience and want to learn new skills.
6. Mini Crochet Christmas Tree
Check out these adorable mini trees! They’re perfect for ornaments or a garland, especially because you can decorate them with beads, sequins, and embroidery thread. Just grab some DK yarn and you’ll have bunches of trees in no time!
7. Flat Christmas Tree Crochet Pattern
Textured Christmas trees also make great ornaments, and this crochet pattern is one of my favorites because it uses the puff stitch. This is a great project for learning a new skill if you’ve never done the puff stitch before, because the designer has linked to a tutorial. There’s also a video tutorial for the project, and the tree is quick and easy to make.
8. Christmas Tree Ornament
This ornament is super fun because it uses a spiral technique to achieve the 3-D look of a real Christmas tree. You can use any yarn weight for this project, so you can make tiny trees or larger ornaments. You’ll just need to know simple stitches plus how to work in the back loop only, and there are lots of pictures to guide you as you crochet.
9. Crochet Ribbon Christmas Tree
These ornaments have a unique design that uses a crocheted ribbon and crocheted beads to create a colorful Christmas tree. You’ll want to use DK cotton yarn, as the stiffness of cotton helps with assembling the ornaments. The pattern includes US and UK terms and only requires easy stitches. Best of all, you can customize your ornaments with all your favorite colors!
10. Christmas Tree Ornament
This 3-D ornament uses easy stitches, so as long as you’re comfortable with a bit of sewing, it’ll work up very quickly. I love how festive you can make each tree by changing colors and using stripes! Plus, the pattern is written in both Dutch and English.
11. Crochet Christmas Tree Ornament
This gorgeous layered Christmas tree ornament is the perfect holiday decoration! It does require a bit of assembly, but you don’t even have to weave in most of your ends—just tuck them inside the tree before sewing it up! This is a good project if you’re a beginner crocheter looking to learn new techniques, because it’s made with the C2C (corner-to-corner) technique and uses the cluster stitch and thermal single crochet. There are video tutorials included, which is a great way to learn these skills!
12. Christmas Tree Amigurumi
Amigurumi is another fun category of Christmas tree crochet patterns. This amigurumi tree is cute and simple. It’s made with easy stitches, no sewing, and just one color change, so it’s a great beginner project.
13. Christmas Tree Amigurumi with Star
How adorable is this tree with its little smile and happy star? For this project, you’ll need worsted yarn, safety eyes, stuffing, and embroidery thread. The tree and star are made with basic stitches, and there are pictures to guide you through assembly. There’s also an option to add a tree stump!
14. Christmas Tree Kawaii Amigurumi
Here’s a super cute amigurumi tree that can sit on your mantle. The pattern is very customizable: you can use any yarn weight and corresponding hook, and you can choose whether or not to use wire in the arms and legs to make them poseable. I think wire gives the tree an extra adorable look because it can be waving at you! Best of all, it’s made with only easy stitches.
15. Crochet Christmas Tree
Now let’s move on to Christmas tree-themed home décor, since of course there’s no such thing as over-decorating for Christmas! I love these trees because they have a somewhat realistic look. They would make an amazing addition to a Christmas village set! For this project, you’ll need DK or light worsted yarn and knowledge of basic stitches, and you can follow the video tutorial or the written tutorial that has plenty of helpful pictures.
16. Christmas Tree Wall Hanging
For this gorgeous wall hanging, you can use whatever color of yarn matches your home and holiday decorations. The hanging is made with easy stitches plus the bobble stitch for the tree design. The bobble stitch is described in the pattern, and there’s even a video tutorial for the whole project. Just grab some weight 5 bulky yarn, and you’ll have some festive décor in no time!
17. Christmas Tree Crochet Stocking
Another great way to use the bobble stitch is in this Christmas tree stocking! For this project, you’ll need to be comfortable with the bobble stitch, working in the back loop only, and doing color changes—though the stocking would look amazing even if you only used one color.
18. Squishy Tree Ami
This pattern is multi-functional: you can make a large Christmas tree pillow for home décor, a smaller one to use as an ornament, or even a tiny version for earrings! The pattern includes the pillow and ornament sizes, and the earrings can be made by switching from weight 4 yarn to crochet thread. Best of all, the pattern is super easy to follow: just work two pieces in rows, and stuff as you seam them together.
19. Silent Night Christmas Tree Skirt
We can’t have a Christmas tree crochet roundup with a Christmas tree skirt! This tree skirt is simple but elegant, using just one color of yarn plus special stitches to create a tree motif and falling snowflakes. You’ll need worsted-weight yarn and knowledge of simple stitches plus the puff stitch, front post stitches, and working in the back of the chain. Once you get the hang of making the trees, this will be a simple, meditative pattern that you can work on while listening to Christmas carols or enjoying holiday time with your family.
