Festive Crochet Christmas Tree Pattern To Brighten Your Home

Hi, I’m Amy, and this festive tree ornament is such a joyful stack — a smaller green tier sitting over a larger yellow tier, finished with scalloped edges, gold chains, tiny stars, beads, and a bow on top. It looks lovely hanging up and makes a sweet handmade gift, too.

We make each tier separately in single crochet, increasing in neat rounds so the counts do the shaping for us. Take your time with the assembly and glue, and your ornament will hold together beautifully.

Round 12, Finishing Round: Use the same finishing stitch as Component A — hdc, dc, hdc in one stitch, sl st in the next — repeated around the 40-stitch round.

Chains and Stars

Gold chains (2.0 mm hook): Make one 30-chain gold loop and one longer 55-chain loop, cut and secure the threads leaving tails for attachment.

Small Star (yellow, 2.0 mm hook): Make a magic ring and repeat (ch 1, sc, dc, ch, dc) five times inside the ring, cut the yarn and secure, close the ring tightly and weave in ends.

Make three stars in total.

Finishing & Assembly

Thread the 30-chain gold piece through the centre of Component A, secure with a simple knot and allow the ends to hang.

Thread the 55-chain piece through the centre of Component B and align for stability.

Use glue to attach the components together uniformly, with the gold chains acting as support.

Glue the stars to the bottom tips of Component B, evenly spaced, then glue beads across both bases and attach the decorative bow at the top.

Tips

Keep your tension even for consistent shaping, especially in the final rounds of each component.

Use good-quality glue and let each joined piece set before adding the next embellishment.

Try traditional holiday colours or your own palette to match your tree.
