How to Crochet Layered Christmas Tree Ornament from a Flat Piece
I am here with another Christmas tree ornament tutorial, this time with a unique construction and a much more elegant finish. You will learn how to crochet this multilayered Christmas tree applique from a single curvy flat piece designed beautifully by Knitting Love. This crochet Christmas tree is inspired by flat design and has lovely features like a crocheted star and white beaded rows.
You will also find an inspiration for a variation that features golden beads and a beige shade for the main tree. Thanks to the use of alternating rows of stitches of different heights, it gets a lovely texture. Whether to make it as an ornament or an add-on for other projects, it is just worth crocheting.

Layered Christmas Tree Ornaments
Quick Summary & Skill Level: You will use a unique work and turn-in-rounds technique for crocheting the base fabric for this layered Christmas tree. First, begin with the magic ring, work many stitches, and then, by turning chains, turn the work to start another row instead of joining with Slip Stitch.
Changing the color, you will also crochet the stem after removing the crochet hook. Then make a basic layer just like the tutor shows. The crochet mesh star pattern is so lovely, which you should certainly try by working in the round and using a bit of chain-skipping.
Tutorial-Timing: 12 Minutes Only
Quick Tips: You can also crochet a version with brown stem and beige shade for the tree.
