How to Crochet Christmas Tree Ornament with Golden Beads
While the previously shared flat Christmas tree was as elegant, quick, and easy, to provide you with a not-to-miss variation idea, here is another tutorial for beginners. So, crochet this golden bead Christmas tree ornament that looks a lot very appealing with a dark green and beige color combo. This crochet tree is a bit smaller than the last version, making it perfect for filling your inventory super quickly.
It is also worked using the same pattern, but also features a relatively large golden bead along with a string for hanging it. This pine pattern is suggested to be used as a pendant for a Christmas tree, also (a lovely combo). Another lovely aspect is crocheting a stepped or tiered look, created by using the back loop only (BLO) throughout the rows.
Whether you are a beginner or expert, this crochet pattern is, in my opinion, the easiest of crochet Christmas trees. The tutorial from Amazona Crochet is also very well-detailed, so you will learn a lot.

Crochet Reindeer Ornamnet Amigurumi Tutorial
Quick Summary & Skill Level: Beginner. To crochet this Christmas tree requires a clever combination of basic crochet stitches while working in back-and-forth rows. The entire tree body is worked in Single Crochet (SC) across rows, rather than in the round. The stepped or “scalloped” texture of the tree will be achieved by working in the Back Loop Only (BLO), (rib stitch).
Crochet it from the bottom to the top as a triangle using a chain for the foundation and turning plus single crochet as a base stitch. Everything is the same as the previous flat Christmas tree.
For turning the straight rows into an arrow, the tutor uses decreases in the middle of every row. Depending upon the number of foundation chains, you will end up with a (sc, dec, sc) pattern for the 2nd last and single crochet three together for the tip.
Tips for starting: The easiest way to customize the hanging is by adjusting its size. The pattern provides instructions on how to continue the alternating increase rows to make the tree longer or wider than the original version. You can also use the colored beads in white, yellow, red, or even iridescent colors to mimic different Christmas light styles.
Furthermore, the yarn used for the tree itself can be swapped for different shades of green, such as light green, or a color other than brown can be chosen for the trunk.
