Christmas tree

The delightful tradition of decorating a Christmas tree dates back over 2,000 years and continues to bring joy to many during the holiday season. In Europe, the most cherished types of Christmas trees include the Nordmann fir, the European spruce, and the blue spruce. When selecting your ideal Christmas tree, remember that you have the freedom to choose your preferred species. Decorating the tree is undoubtedly the most enjoyable part of the holiday project, so make sure to adorn your charming little tree extravagantly, allowing it to shine and take center stage against larger, more traditional trees!

This adorable 7.5 cm Christmas tree pattern is an easy, fast, and super fun project that is perfect for knitters of all skill levels. It is knitted in the round using Scheepjes Riverwashed (954) Congo and Scheepjes Stonewashed (822) brown agate with 2.00 mm (US 0, UK 14) double pointed needles. To give your tree a plush look, it is stuffed with soft toy filling, ensuring it feels as good as it looks. The snow adorning the branches is delicately crocheted on with a 1.25 mm crochet hook, adding a touch of wintry charm. For added sparkle, the tinsel and baubles are crafted as i-cords on 1.25 mm needles, all in lace-gauged yarn. If you prefer a larger festive decoration, you can easily use heavier yarn on thicker needles, resulting in a bigger and even more eye-catching tree.

Embrace the spirit of the holidays with this delightful knitting project! Happy holiday knitting to all!
