Introduction to Crocheting Christmas Tree
In this post, we will first be starting off with the relevant supplies and techniques you would need to crochet this tree. To make this Christmas tree, you basically need green colour and for the baubles, I picked red and white, but you could choose any other colours.
As this is an ambitious beginner friendly pattern, here you will learn how to attempt different special stitches like bobble and picot stitches and also learn how to do multiple colour changes in amigurumi.
Stick around after that to check out the full video of how to crochet a Christmas Tree and finally we will end off with the full pattern PDF download if that is the mode of reading that suits you best. Also, if you like festive patterns, don’t forget to grab the free Ice Cream Snowman pattern below!
