Crochet Christmas Tree Ornament Pattern
I bring you the pattern for these Christmas trees. I hope you like them; they measure 17 cm. At the top, you can add some chains and use them either as car pendants or as decorations for your Christmas tree.
Pattern Highlights
Festive Uses
- Can be hung as car pendants, Christmas tree ornaments, or made in various sizes and colors for different decor styles.
Flexible Yarn Choices
- The tree uses thick yarn (“Baby”/“Coffee” tones), but can also be made with brands like Sinfonía or Abuelita for a smaller result.
Simple Construction
- Worked in the round, starting with chains rather than a magic ring due to fiber structure.
- Distinctive relief rounds for textured tree branches.
- A separate base, mini spheres/beads for decoration, and a star topper.
Customizable Details
- Make the tree in any color you wish; try classic green, white, or even pink.
- Decorate with beads, stitched balls, or whatever sparkles your holiday spirit.
Notes
- Synthetic stuffing is recommended to help the ornament maintain shape.
- Hot glue is used for attaching decorative spheres and the star for ease.
- The pattern uses “chain” foundation instead of the magic ring due to yarn behavior—pulling the chain tight prevents unraveling.
- Relief rounds (worked in the back loop) give the branches a textured appearance.
- Beads or stitched balls can be used as tree ornaments; star is crocheted separately.
- The star is attached with glue if sewing proves difficult.
- You can add a chain to the top for hanging.
