Tinsel Tree

Growing up, one of my cherished holiday traditions was crafting new ornaments for our family Christmas tree. I reveled in gluing macaroni onto metallic cardboard disks and twisting pipe cleaners into whimsical snowflakes. However, my favorite homemade ornaments were – and still are – the delightful creations made from colorful paper strips. The intricate stitch pattern featured on Tinsel Tree’s front panel evokes the nostalgia of those simple yet charming paper holiday decorations.

Introducing the Tinsel Tree Knitting Pattern, which offers a variety of creative options for your festive wardrobe! This pattern includes detailed instructions for both dress and tunic lengths, ensuring that you can create the perfect festive garment to celebrate the holiday season. Additionally, there’s an option for long sleeves designed with a lighter weight yarn, artfully mimicking the appearance of a stylish faux second layer. The Tinsel Tree is expertly crafted from the top down, allowing you to follow along seamlessly as you knit. The yoke begins with flat knitting before transitioning into the round, resulting in smooth, professional-looking seams.

One of the standout features of the Tinsel Tree pattern is that, aside from the Kitchener stitch used to flawlessly finish the tubular bind-off at the upper sleeve cuffs and hem, this design is completely seamless, making it an enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels. You’ll appreciate the ease of construction paired with the aesthetic joy of the unique stitch pattern.
