Welcome to Part 1 of the Christmas Tree Hat Scarf Crochet Along which is sponsored by DMC yarns. Today’s pattern is all about the Christmas Tree. But before we decorate it which happens during part 2, we will need to make the Christmas tree itself. This crochet pattern really is super easy and fun to make.
During the part, you will make the hat very long which can be used as a scarf. I wrote the pattern for and adult/teen head, but it is super easy to adjust. In fact, I even have a link provide that help you learn how to do just that.
Part 2 of the pattern will be released December 9th when you will create all the ornaments and decorations for the tree. I can’t wait to see which colors you will pick.
Check out the MAIN CROCHET ALONG POST HERE!
As I mentioned, I designed this Christmas Tree Hat Scarf such that the pattern can be easily adjusted to any head size that it is needed for as the pattern is made bottoms up. Once you have the ribbing finished the hat is decreased every so often until it is really long.
Next week we will add the ornaments which I decided will only be flat Christmas Baubles as this hat is also used as a scarf and it can be hurtful to have large sphere like ornaments hanging around you neck.
Be sure you joined my Facebook Group so we can all show of our creations as we make them and when they are finished as well as get help anytime you need it. Please also add the pattern to your Ravelry Favorites.

Ribbing
Start with the color brown (DMC 111)
Row 1: Make a chain of 6, starting from the 2nd ch from the hook 1 hdc in each st, ch 1, turn (5 sts)
Row 2 – 40: 1 hdc in BLO in each st, ch 1, turn
I made 40 rows as that is what worked for my hat. Please adjust the number of rows depending the persons head you make this hat for.
After row 40, fold the ribbing in half and sl st the ends together.
Hat
Still using Brown for one more round.
Crochet 54 sc’s evenly around the ribbing (this number will need to be adjusted according to the size of the ribbing you made; pick a number (multiple of 5, plus 4) that is larger than the number of rows you just made), sl st to the first st.
If you have a different number than 54 sts, please see below how I decreased ever 5th row. First eliminated 4 sts, and then all the other decreasing rows, I eliminated 5 sts per round. So you will need to make the decreases evenly around.
Fasten off Brown and start with Green (DMC color 08)
