You can make rus­tic tree orna­ments, ele­gant bauble cov­ers, small stars, or tall cone Christ­mas trees – the options are as diverse as your imag­i­na­tion.

You’ll find affil­i­ate links with­in this post. If you decide to pur­chase through these links, I may earn a mod­est com­mis­sion at no extra cost. Addi­tion­al­ly, please review my pri­va­cy pol­i­cy for more details.

To begin, you’ll need some basic cro­chet sup­plies, includ­ing a cro­chet hook (size G or the appro­pri­ate size for your cho­sen yarn), a yarn nee­dle, and some yarn. For a clas­sic Christ­mas tree look, green worsted-weight yarn, like Red Heart Super Saver, works well.

**Foun­da­tion Chain:** Start by cre­at­ing a foun­da­tion chain with the desired num­ber of chain stitch­es. This will deter­mine the size of your cro­chet tree. You can exper­i­ment with dif­fer­ent sizes by adjust­ing the num­ber of chains.

Sup­plies: Green Yarn, H hook, yarn nee­dle. It mea­sures about 7 inch­es tall.
