30 Free Crochet Christmas Tree Patterns
Crochet these festive Christmas trees for your holiday home decor. Choose from various items, whether you want to make a fun Christmas tree hat while you’re out cutting down your Christmas tree.
Maybe you fancy stringing up a pretty Christmas tree garland! Find both patterns below. I have found patterns that are simple, quick, and beautiful for all of your Christmas decorating needs.
1. Crochet Christmas Tree Tissue Box Cover
This Christmas tree tissue box cover is one of my favorites. Easily cover up your tissue box with this fun Christmas tree!
You’ll use sparkle yarn so that the tree looks like it has lights or glistening snow. This nice, plump Christmas tree is crocheted in the round (so make sure your stitch markers are handy!) from the top down.
Next, you will decorate it with tiny, multi-colored pom poms and lastly, you will crochet a star to top it off!
Now you simply slide your Christmas tree over your tissue box and pull the tissues out the top behind the star. Pretty fun, huh?
CHRISTMAS TREE TISSUE BOX COVER – FREE PATTERN can be found on my blog.
2. Small Foldable Christmas Tree
This Christmas tree pattern is a little different because you start by crocheting two sets of triangles and then you use those triangles to cover plastic canvas pieces to give your tree stability.
The pattern is very easy to crochet and comes with a detailed photo tutorial to help you along to making it.
Use this cute little tree anywhere in your home!
This Small Foldable Christmas Tree Pattern is available for free on my blog.
3. Christmas Tree Hat Scarf
This free crochet pattern is called the Christmas Tree Hat Scarf and for good reason!
Wear this fun, decorative Christmas tree hat and use the rest to wrap around your neck as a scarf. I think this would be fun to add one of those battery-operated strings of lights around it as well!
