Create Your Own Cute Crochet Christmas Tree – A Step-by-Step Guide!

Hi crochet lovers! Looking for a festive, handmade touch for your holiday decor? Look no further. This crochet Christmas tree pattern is as simple as it is adorable. It’s perfect for beginners yet versatile enough for experienced crafters to add their personal twist.

So grab your yarn and hook, and let’s get started!

What You’ll Need:

  • Yarn: Cotton yarn works beautifully (green for the tree, brown for the trunk, or any colors you love).
  • Hook Size: 3 mm crochet hook (or a size appropriate for your yarn).
  • Extras: Scissors, tapestry needle, and optional glue for finishing.

The Pattern: A Cute Crochet Christmas Tree

Step 1: Start with a Magic Ring

  1. Wrap the yarn around two fingers to form a loop.
  2. Insert the hook under the loop, grab the working yarn, and pull it through to create a basic chain.
  3. Yarn over and pull through the loop to secure.

If the magic ring seems tricky, you can start with a chain of four and join it to form a ring instead.

Step 2: Crochet the Granny Square Base

This tree begins with the iconic granny square. Here's how to crochet it:

Round 1:
- Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
- Work 2 more double crochets into the ring, chain 2 (to form the first corner).
- (3 double crochets, chain 2) three times.
- Tighten the ring by pulling the tail, then slip stitch into the second chain of the starting chain-3.

Round 2:
- Chain 3, then 2 double crochets into the first chain-2 space.
- Chain 2, then work 3 double crochets in the same space (this forms the corner).
- Chain 1, then repeat (3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets) in each corner space.
- Chain 1 between corners. Slip stitch to finish the round.

Change colors after any round by pulling a new yarn color through the last stitch and continuing as normal.


Step 3: Fold and Shape

Once your granny square is complete:

  1. Fold it diagonally to create a triangle.
  2. Use single crochet or slip stitch along the open edge to join the sides and form the tree shape.
  3. Weave in any loose ends neatly.

Experiment with multicolored rows or stick to a festive green for classic vibes.

Step 4: Add the Trunk

  1. Locate the bottom center of your triangle.
  2. Join the brown yarn and chain 3.
  3. Work 5 double crochets into the same space.
  4. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Optional Customizations

  • Hanging Loop: Before cutting the final yarn, create a chain loop to hang your tree as an ornament.
  • Decorate: Use small beads, buttons, or embroidery to mimic ornaments.
  • Size Variations: Add more rows to the granny square for a larger tree or use finer yarn for mini ornaments.

And it became just right!! My circle starts with 8 sc but you can also start with 6 sc.       R1: Magic Circle 8sc => 8 stitches R2: inc 1 st in every st => 16 stitches R3: inc 1 st in every 2 st => 24 stitches R4: inc 1 st in every 3 st => 32 stitches R5: inc 1st in every 4 st => 40 stitches etc. Then I crochet for 7 cm with no increase.
