Easy Crochet Christmas Tree Tutorial - Make it ANY Size with Any Yarn

[@LoriStoriesAndCrochet]

This is one of the things my grandma taught me how to make when I was a teenager, but I couldn't remember how to do it because it had been so many years! I'm absolutely making one of these for each of my adult daughters this year. Thank you!!!!

[@ingesexton811]

As an adult daughter, I can tell you I would love something like this from my mom. You can decorate it for each of your kids personalities and they will treasure it for years to come!

[@GOGOSLIFE]

My grandmother taught me how to make 'peter-heaters'. She gave them as gag gifts, along with all the other things she did. We lost her in '91 and she was a firecracker! Rip gramma, I know your killing them upstairs!

[@PatD-user-td7xh2ms2z]

❤great 💡 me too😊

[@ProgramPat]

Thank you, I made these years ago. Lost pattern in house fire. I can’t wait to make some. I di stuff mine, and used a plastic lid inside bottom, and crocheted a base.

[@LoriStoriesAndCrochet]

@@ProgramPat so sorry for your for losses😓

[@YarnKilla54]

Years ago I made your Christmas tree hat out of the green premier puzzle yarn. I made it for my husband, installed rice lights on the inside poking out and decorated it with Christmas picks from the dollar store like gifts, stars & mini ornaments.... Whatever little doodads I could find. I also crochet a gold star for the top. Super bright and colorful. If an ugly sweater could be a hat, that was it! He wore it every year to the annual Christmas event where they volunteer time to an elementary school downtown Detroit. Most of the kids less fortunate, victims of domestic abuse, emotional issues, etc.... They absolutely loved that hat!!! It made them SO HAPPY! My husband, other co-workers would spend the whole day doing Christmas crafts with the children. They ALWAYS wanted to sit next to him " The guy with the hat". lol 💚🎄💚 Thanks❤

Yup, I’ll be crocheting a TON of these in ALL different colors, especially PINK in memory of my beautiful fraternal twin sister for Breast Cancer Awareness 🥹💗🌸💗

Great Idea 💡

That is absolutely beautiful I wish you happiness and am sorry for your loss

[@SisterInChrist-Chrissy]

Can make them in diff colors, Red or White too.. or maybe a darker hot pink for other holidays... Love it!!! Very versatile!! Perfect❣️🎄💕

[@bettywins3]

I must tell you a secret. Sometimes, like right now I am just so down and I put on any of your tutorials to make me smile, you have one of the friendliest, uplifting channels out here.

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@VM-123]

I made trees similar to that last year, and instead of using a cone, I stuffed it and closed off the bottom. I bought sparkle paper from Hobby Lobby. I downloaded a star template and cut out two for each star. Glue them together with a toothpick in between. Use that to stick in the top of your tree.

[@evajawidzk2068]

Great idea crocheting the tree is a definite watch the video .

[@kaybaxter1070]

This tree is adorable. Going to made a few of these in different sizes. Love it. Th😮ank you so much for another great tutorial. ❤

[@sharedexperiences2773]

Good idea or crochet a star. 😊

[@Tlynn86CG]

Okay...18 stitches is the magic number. It's the point in this project where I could finally relax! 😂 To everyone: Don't give up! You've got this! 🎄 Thanks for a great pattern and tutorial, Crystal.

[@Somewhere-In-AZ]

Totally agree. 18 got so much easier. ❤

[@Somewhere-In-AZ]

I just realized I cheated a little bit. I only did one row of 6 instead of 2. So, 6, 8, 8, 12, 12… it’s not noticeable.

[@20bluelilies]

@@Somewhere-In-AZ I thought I knew what I was doing just from the first bit I watched, and I went, 6, 12, 18, 24... Then I realised something was awry 😆

😂thank you..I’m gone make it to the finish line I’m starting today 💕🎄🎄🎄

[@ReiverGrad14]

Please tell me it gets easier

[@aprilharris1534]

Crystal, very cute tree. If I can make a suggestion? If you still want to put lights on it maybe tuck the entire string of lights inside the tree and pull the lights through the fabric from the inside out maybe using a small hook or whatever. May give you that look you were originally hoping for. Just a suggestion 🤷🏻‍♀️. It's very nice either way. ❤

[@midgevietor199]

Memories, back in th 60's my mom and I crochet similar Christmas trees using Red Heart yarn and metallic silver thread, there was me shimmer yarn back then. I will be making many of these for friends for Christmas. The pattern for the trees we made was in a Work Basket craft book. Thank you for sharing your tree with us.

[@Raineyluwho]

I loved Work Basket. I keep hoping I'll find reprints of some. I have two that my Grandmother and I worked out of.

[@impunitythebagpuss]

I have a few of those booklets! Very brittle and falling apart at this stage. They had some great patterns!

[@Blessed-2-b-a-Hembree]

Oh I wish I had that pattern!

[@KathyJeppesen]

I really enjoy the way you do your tutorials without having all the background music so many have. Just the nice sound of your voice explaining.

[@giana9261]

Absolutely and loved hearing your dog in the background the occasional wolf and the nail clicks on the floor. Your video was very clear concise and I felt like I was crocheting with you in the room. Thank you.

[@cheryl1338]

This is a really fun project. I am using an ancient skein of dark green yarn that was in my stash (like literally probably from the 80s, my mother got it at the senior center in a bag of yarn that was donated). I agree with others - stick with it until you get to the row of 18 stitches, it gets much easier then. I am planning to put a cardboard cone inside it so that I can just take the cardboard out and store it flat after the season.

[@DianneMc]

I have seen many crocheted Christmas trees on KZbin over the years, but this is without a doubt the prettiest one of all of them. It's just so pretty!

[@KendyJane67]

I tried making this last year when you posted the video. I had trouble. So I put it away. Today I came back to it after crocheting and learning all year and can’t believe how easy it is for me. So if anyone is reading this and has trouble don’t give up. Thanks Kristal. I have a sister named Kristal. Lol

With variegated fall yarn.

[@summerrayne42]

@@t.h.8475 I couldn’t agree more ☺️!

[@faithdockendorff4747]

The teacher in me needs to point out that evergreen trees have needles that don’t turn fall colours….though I will admit it’s a great pattern and would look pretty in other colours….

[@DeflatorMouse]

Great idea! Premier makes a very pretty orange Puzzle yarn I've used before with reds and tans mingled into it.

[@summerrayne42]

@@DeflatorMouse Thanks for the yarn suggestion 😊! Once I get caught up with all my other crochet projects, I’m going to make these trees for next Fall 😊

So I see this vedio at work and I can't wait to go to joanns and get everything. So I'm so excited so I'm at fazoli's getting my dinner and low and behold there is the pinecone now I need to go to joanns again and get the stuff for that vedio.

Wonderful memory! I have one I made in the 80's with green and white variegated yarn. I still put it out every year in my bathroom - it fits perfectly over a shampoo bottle and then folds up nicely for storage.

[@susanarendas]

Decorate it with stitch markers! What a great gift idea that would be for a Christmas gift!!

Hi, Crystal. I wanted to send you a picture of my finished Hanukkah tree; but I’m not sure how to do that. Can you tell me what address I can use to forward you the picture. I am so happy with it. I think it came out really terrific. Look forward to all your tutorials. Going to make your “turkey” placemat next! Regards, Carol

I double yarned a poncho last year with Puzzle and JoAnn's glisten yarn.... they discontinued the glisten yarn so I am really happy they did the shimmer version... just ordered the Puzzle shimmer to follow along with you Crystal and make some Christmas Trees💕💕❤❤

[@gretchenchristophel1169]

Puzzle yarn is a genius choice. I have used it for beanies and scarfs and it always works up beautifully.

[@susanmcclinton9290]

This is the best christmas tree of all of them! So versatile, easy, and looks the best when finished. You can add ornaments, stuff lights up inside, put it on a cone if you want (but not necessary!). I'm making them in various colors. I can string little colored bells on the yarn and wrap it around so that it is not seen. I even made a mini tree skirt from your tree skirt pattern, so cute. Thank you for all your patterns and the way you teach, really enjoy you!

[@Hookedonfaith-akasandramoody]

Awesome pattern. This yarn is perfect for the tree. These would make great gifts. You could find a candy jar or one to put pre measured dry cookie or brownie ingredients in, or hair ties etc for a kid in and top the jar with this tree to give as gifts. Candle jar cover, homemade hand scrubs, soaps, I can think of so many wonderful ways to use this. Thanks Crystal ❤️

Little tiny white or “crystal” beads would be nice on it too.

This is lovely. Thirty years ago, I made some Christmas trees from kits and gave them to family members. I still have mine. I would like to make one of yours and I love the way the color of the yarn makes the tree look like it has snow on it, and the shimmer makes it even better!!

holy Smokes B.O.D, this looks like a little bit of a mastermind piece of work. How do you remember all these different stitches you teach us? hahaha, this looks like a project I might throw my crochet hook across the room. I am working on my patience =) I am going to make this... Thanks for always challenging all of us no matter what degree of a crocheter we are.

[@SandyDawes-xs3od]

I used the "I love This Yarn" by Red Heart in Forest Green that I had at hand to make your tree. I used a 4.5 mm hook. I added four more rows and decreased in two of the added rows. Then I added a single crocheted flat circle for the bottom and stuffed it with fiberfil. So fun!
