Crochet Christmas tree. Pattern and description for beginners, master class — A variant of crocheting a Christmas tree from top to bottom (the diagram and description below in the text are for an alternative knitting from bottom to top)

Knitting pattern and features

A crocheted New Year tree is created in several stages:

First, a flat cone-shaped trunk is knitted, branches are knitted separately and sewn to the main part.
The festive garland is made after the tree is knitted, it consists of a multi-colored air chain.

In the master class, the tree will be presented in a double color scheme - white and green, where green symbolizes foliage, and white - snow. The cone is knitted in a circle, side seams are not assumed. Almost all rows are simple double crochets.

To make such a craft, you need to use the following diagram:

Step by step knitting instructions

Green and white threads are joined together, 24 ch are knitted. The 1st and last loops are combined into a circle. Take hook No. 3.
1st row: 24 dc.
From the 2nd to the 8th row, the decrease begins: each time 1 st is decreased from the sides. By the 9th row, 10 sts should remain.
At level 9, sts are made every 1, resulting in 6 pieces.
The 10th level is the last one, in it similar reductions are made. At the exit there are 3 st. without n. They are knitted as 1, that is, without finishing the 1st, there is a transition to the 2nd, knitted halfway, and then to the 3rd; the thread at the end passes through all 3 st.
The finished trunk is filled with cotton wool and sewn up from below with a blind stitch, using green or white threads.
Branches are made. There should be 6 parts in total – 3 branches on each side. 2 upper: start – 7 ch, 1st-4th rows: gradual decrease from 4 dc to 1 sc. In each row, 1 loop is skipped.
Similarly, make 4 lower branches. They are a little wider: start - 8 ch, from the 1st to the 4th row decrease from 5 dc to 1 sc.
The details are sewn to the side of the tree. The branches are placed slightly below the top of the tree. All tails and protruding threads are tucked inside the product.
Colored garland. It is made of yellow and orange yarn, looks like a cord. For the rope, you need to dial 60 ch. p., the knitting should be of medium or weak density with a No. 2 hook.
The garland is loosely wound around the tree. To secure it, a cord should be threaded through the trunk posts. The tails from the threads are tucked in.

Fluffy crochet Christmas tree

The work includes knitting simple columns in combination with an unusual technique of pulling out loops. Due to this, the Christmas tree turns out voluminous and lush. As a yarn, you can choose shiny grass (for example, “Crystal”) or yarn with already stretched threads along the entire length (Celebi).

DlI will need the following work:

Yarn “Crystal” (or Celebi).
Hook No. 3.
Scissors.
Threads in tone.
Sewing needle.
Sintepon for filling.

Knitting pattern, features

The knitting description indicates long loops as the main elements. They are made by pulling the thread through the loop when creating a column and knitting a single crochet into the same loop. It is recommended to fix the pulled loop with your fingers or a clamp.

The difficulty of working according to this pattern is that in the process of forming the tree levels you can get tangled in the protruding yarn.

The photo serves as a guide for knitting a Christmas tree from elongated loops:

Bottom diagram:

Step by step knitting instructions

First, you need to dial 3 air stitches and make a connecting ring.
1st row: 8 sts without s are knitted in a circle.
Rows 2-5 – no changes.
From the 6th row, you need to evenly add 4 sts without n.
Row 7: Knit 12 sts with hanging loops (each about 1-2 cm long).
Row 8: add 2 dc.
The following levels are a repetition of the 7th and 8th rows. The Christmas tree is knitted to the desired height: with 10 rows you will get a small Christmas tree, about 5 cm, 20 levels - the tree will be 10 cm high.
The product is filled with synthetic padding.
The tree needs a bottom. It is knitted in a circle from the same yarn: 6 ch. 1st row – 16 dc. In the 2nd row, 2 dc in 1 loop. From the 3rd row – 2 dc through 2 loops. The diameter of the bottom should match the base of the tree. The entire circle is finished with dc without increases.
Sew the bottom to the main part. Remove excess threads.

Original amigurumi crochet Christmas tree

The amigurumi Christmas tree differs from the classic versions in that it is flat and voluminous, knitted in a circle. The tree will be made from a long crocheted chain of loops and stitches that is wound around a wire.

The craft includes the creation of 2 small boots and a scarf, the total height is 23 cm. Cotton yarn or plush types are suitable for knitting soft amigurumi toys - Alize Bella, Dolphin Baby, Nazar, Vita Fancy.

List of materials:

Yarn “Pekhorka” (brown, green, white, red).
No. 2 – hook.
Flexible wire of medium thickness.
Scissors.
Glue.
Several coins of 5 or 10 kopecks.
Filling – holofiber.

Knitting pattern, features

The specificity of knitting amigurumi is not only in the formation of columns and air loops, but also in the obligatory increases and decreases in more complex figures. To make an increase, that is, to increase the number of loops, you should make 2 dc in 1 loop of the previous level.

It is better to reduce the number of loops and reduce the size of the product using the invisible decrease method:

insert the hook behind the front part of the 1st loop and immediately behind the wall of the 2nd loop at the base; there are 3 loops on the hook: the main loop and 2 p. p.;
take a thread, pull it through 2 sts; 2 loops on the hook;
pull the main thread through 2 loops.

Photos of knitted branches:

In round amigurumi crafts, an amigurumi ring is always knitted: ch. p., connected in a circle. The element makes the knitting denser, eliminates the formation of holes. When making this craft, it will be useful when knitting the toe area of the boots.

The last row is made in the form of small teeth: (1 ch., connecting st. in sc.) - to the end of the thing.
Knit the 2nd boot. Cut off the protruding threads, tuck the tails inside.
Scarf: make a 15 cm long chain stitch, knit 1 row of single crochet stitches in red, the 2nd row in white.
Connect 2 pieces of wire and secure with tape or glue.
First, wrap the wire base with brown yarn, and wind the tree on top. Glue all the ends. Tie a scarf closer to the top.
Twist the lower parts of the wire into flat spirals, coat with glue and put the boots on them.

Volumetric crochet Christmas tree

A volumetric Christmas tree should be knitted from the top to the base. Using this method, you can make a Christmas tree of any height - depending on the number of rows. To keep the shape of the product, you need to prepare a cardboard base.

To make the product you will need the following materials:

Cotton yarn “Gogo” (green and white).
Hook No. 2.
Scissors.
A cardboard cone to fit the size of the product.
Glue.

Knitting pattern, features

The fluffy Christmas tree is knitted in a circle. In the master class, the main part of the tree will be green, the edging is made in white, reminiscent of snow. The finished product can be given a clear shape and stability due to the cardboard insert.

Step by step knitting instructions

A chain of 5 ch is made. It is closed into a ring.
1st row – 12 dc, knitted in a circle.
From the 2nd row, the increase begins: 3 ch for lifting, 1 dc in the 1st loop, 11 dc.
Level 3: add 1 dc into the 5th and 9th stitches.
The following rows are made according to the following pattern: alternating addition of 1 dc into the 1st loop on even rows and 2 dc on odd rows.
To add volume: embroider around the tree using the spiral method, 1 level of 2 dc in each loop. To get beautiful frills, use a chain stitch.
The finished ruffles are tied with 1 row of single crochet stitches using white yarn.
Depending on the height and width of the tree, a circle is cut out of cardboard, 1/3 of which is removed. The figure is rolled into a cone, fixed with glue (or tape). The cardboard is inserted inside the tree.

Tips for Beginner Craftswomen

Any crocheted item starts with a set of chain stitches. A simple item can be made from just single stitches.

When doing your first work, it is important to adequately assess your capabilities. It is worth practicing creating a small craft and choosing an easy pattern, for example, a flat Christmas tree.
The hook size should match the thickness of the yarn: a small hook for thin thread, a thick one for wool. Knitting with thin yarn is more difficult and takes longer.
Beginners are not recommended to use smooth types of yarn, as they are difficult to hook. Yarns with elastane are also not suitable - without the necessary skills, the item may stretch out and lose shape during knitting. It is worth considering a budget option of yarn - "Iris". It is sold in small skeins and has more than 20 types of colors.
Multi-colored threads, beads, sequins, and ribbons add originality and attractiveness to the knitted product.

To make the tree stable and have shape, a cardboard frame or wire is inserted inside.
The volume of the tree is given by the filler - cotton wool, pieces of rags and threads, synthetic padding or foam rubber. Bulk products are used as weights. To create a scented item, herbs are put into it.

Knitting a Christmas tree begins with determining a suitable pattern and step-by-step execution of the basic elements indicated in the description. The decisive preparatory moment is the correct selection of a hook and yarn, as well as a complete understanding of the pattern and the step-by-step knitting process.
