Each of my trees measure approximately 4” tall by 2.5” wide.

You can combine any number of Christmas trees as you like. I have used 9 trees creating a completed garland length of 43”.

These measurements are given as a rough guide. Exact gauge is not important for this project, just try to keep your stitches consistent.

What You’ll need to make a Christmas Tree Garland

You can use any type of Green and Brown yarns for your Christmas tree ornaments.

I decided to make a rustic style garland, using some muted greens and browns which I had left over in my stash from making my Turtle Coaster Sets.

I used Rico Creative Cotton Aran 100% Cotton, available from LoveCrafts, in the following colours: Olive (50), Brown (58), Pistachio (41), Nougat (56), and Clay (51) for the garland string.

The trees only use a small amount of yarn each. Approximately 5g/10yds of Green for the tree, and 2g/4yds of Brown for the trunk.

Use a hook size suited for your chosen yarn. I have used a 5mm hook. You will also need a Yarn Needle and Scissors.

Crochet Christmas Tree Variation Options

You can use yarn, ribbon, or string to join your trees into a garland. I’ve used a beige yarn in keeping with my rustic style.

You can leave your trees plain, or decorate them with beads, buttons, sequins, pompoms, and ribbons.

Here, I’ve made some brighter trees with acrylic yarn and sewed on some seed beads as baubles and fairy lights. For individual hanging decorations, simply tie a ribbon or string to the top of the tree.

3 crocheted Christmas trees decorated with colourful seed beads to depict baubles and festive fairy lights, each hanging on a ribbon.

You can also light up your garland by wrapping it around some Christmas fairy lights. I have used some battery-powered star-shaped copper string lights.

Free Crochet Christmas Tree Ornament

This free Christmas tree garland crochet pattern uses the following US crochet stitches and terms:

(ch) Chain, (sc) Single Crochet, (hdc) Half Double Crochet, (spl-hdc) Split Half Double Crochet – explained below.

Numbers shown in ( ) indicates the number of stitches you should have at the end of the row/round.

To help you read this pattern, the commas represent each stitch or the number of stitches after x. A number shown before a stitch, means work that number of stitches in the same next stitch making an increase. For example; {dc x3, 2dc,} would mean work a dc into next 3 stitches, and 2 dc sts in the same following stitch.

How to crochet the Split HDC Stitch:

For this pattern, we will be using a Split Half Double Crochet stitch. This stitch creates an even, leafy effect, texture while making the piece thicker and sturdier.

To work a Split Half Double Crochet (spl-hdc), you work a normal hdc stitch into the middle of the legs of the previous row, instead if the usual stitch tops.

The legs of the stitch are the V shape created under the stitch tops. You will yarn over as usual, then insert your hook in through the middle of the V shape, coming out through the centre of the V shape on the other side as well, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on hook.

 

I have highlighted the V shapes on the image below:

It may be tricky to find the right place for your stitches when starting off, the first 2 stitches can be hard to see. Just insert your hook and check the back to see if it looks right.

You will be working under 3 loops, the normal top 2 loops (front and back loops) and the back bar loop of the hdc stitch.

You’ll find it easier to locate the right place as you work more rows.

Now add the trunk.

We will use the back loop and back bar of the spl-hdc stitches, leaving the front loop to form a neat separation line.

Congratulations! You’ve completed your mini Crochet Tree

You have completed your mini Christmas Tree ornament, you can now decorate it if desired. Make as many as you like and string them together to make a festive decorative garland, use them individually as hanging decorations, or use them as a finishing touch on gift wrapping.

Making a Crochet Tree Garland:

I have joined my trees with a crocheted chain. You could use ribbon or string instead. I have joined 9 trees, creating a garland just over 1 meter long. You can adjust the number of trees or spacing between trees to suit your own decor.

Start by chaining 30, sc into the top of a tree, *ch 15, sc into the top of the next tree,* repeat between * for each tree, and finish by chaining 30.
