Crochet Christmas Tree Tutorial
Quick Summary & Skill Level: To crochet this multi-layered hanging Christmas tree, you will need a mix of basic and intermediate techniques. You will be using the same tiered Christmas tree pattern with Single Crochet in the rounds. The spherical shaping needs Increases and Decreases.
The unique, textured edge for both pieces is created using a shell-like pattern of Half Double Crochet and Double Crochet stitches, alternating with Slip Stitches.
Additional elements include Chain Stitches to create the gold hanging loops and a flat, star-shaped embellishment made by combining single crochet, double crochet, and chain stitches within the Magic Ring.
Tutorial Timing: About 10 minutes only (perfect for crocheting a tiny star and beautiful wavy edging)
Tips before getting started: Personalization for this ornament focuses on color choice and decorative embellishments. The hanging loops, created with gold chains, can be made in different lengths (30 chains for the short one, 55 chains for the long one).
Most notably, the final decoration is highly customizable: the project is finished by gluing on a ready-made ribbon/bow and gluing small beads or ornamental stones around the edge.
Stitches Needed
The following are the crochet techniques that the tutor will use for crocheting all parts of this Christmas amigurumi:
- Slip Stitch (SL ST): Insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over, and pull through both loops on the hook.
- Half Double Crochet (HDC): Yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, and pull through all three loops.
- Double Crochet (DC): Yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, pull through two loops, yarn over once more, and pull through the remaining two loops.
- Chain Stitch (CH): Yarn over and pull through the loop on the hook.
