Make a festive Christmas tree wreath decoration with this free crochet pattern! You can also use this pattern to make small Christmas trees as hanging ornaments or to add a finishing touch to wrapping paper.
You can use whatever weights or varieties of yarn you want for this project. I used Aran / Worsted cotton yarn with 5mm crochet. Each of my trees is approximately 4 ”tall and 2.5” wide.
You can combine as many Christmas trees as you want. I used 9 trees that form a 43 ”long crown.
These measurements are given as a rough guide. The exact size is not important for this project, just try to keep your stitches consistent. What do you need to make a Christmas tree wreath? You can use any type of green and brown yarn to decorate your Christmas tree.
I decided to make a rustic style wreath using some soft greens and browns that I left in my stash while I made my turtle rug sets.
I used Rico Creative Cotton Aran 100% Cotton, available at LoveCrafts, in the following colors: Olive (50), Brown (58), Pistachio (41), Nougat (56) and Clay (51) for Garland yarn.
Each tree uses only a small amount of yarn. Approximately 5 g / 10 yd of green for the tree and 2 g / 4 yd of brown for the trunk.
Use an appropriate hook size for the yarn of your choice. I used a 5mm hook. You will also need a thread needle and scissors. Crochet Christmas tree variation options
You can use string, ribbon, or rope to turn your trees into a garland. I used a beige yarn to match my rustic style.
You can leave your trees plain or decorate them with beads, buttons, sequins, pompoms, ribbons.
Here, I made trees brighter with acrylic yarn and sewed some beads like colored beads and lights. Tie a ribbon or string to the top of the tree to decorate individual pendants.
You can also light up your garland by wrapping it around some Christmas lights. I have used some battery operated copper star-shaped string lights.
