How to Crochet Christmas Tree Key Cover and Keychain
Last time, I suggested turning the Christmas tree I shared a tutorial for into a key pouch. (Really lovely idea!). But to guide you better, I am here with an easy Christmas tree key cover and keychain tutorial for absolute beginners. Just like the previous, you will crochet an unstuffed tiered and snow Christmas tree, but with a twist:
It acts as a cover by pulling the key out for use and then tucking it back inside using holding the star top. You will love how simple it is to achieve this functionality with strings. Now, let’s learn more about this key cover project!
You can also turn it into a normal bag just by using the zipper in the stem part. There are also shiny beads and a white, snowy border all around that well enhances the finished Christmas tree. Luckily, you will crochet this key pouch as a single piece with clever use of color changes and surface-stitching.
So, if you have made up your mind to participate in crocheting this new Christmas tree variation for beginners, continue reading this post till the end. I am sharing regularly new Christmas tutorials, so make sure to follow through with us!

About Christmas Tree Key Cover Tutorial
Quick Summary & Skill Level: Intermediate. You will start with the basic Magic Ring and a round of single crochet for the tree’s tip, then use double crochet and increases for the shape of the tree body.
After completing the green tree, a flap is crocheted for the red trunk using single crochet in rows, which is then joined to form the pouch.
Next, a five-point star is crocheted, and a long chain cord is attached. This chain is pulled through the top of the tree, allowing the key to be hidden inside the red trunk-pouch when the star is pulled up.
Tutorial-Timing: 24 minutes only. Perfect for learning the popular tiered Christmas tree pattern.
