Crochet Pine Tree

Crochet Pine Trees are such a delightful addition to any holiday décor! Creating these charming little trees can be easy and fun, whether you're a seasoned crocheter or just starting out. With their textured stitches and rich green yarn, they bring a touch of coziness and nature indoors. You can customize them in various sizes and even adorn them with tiny ornaments or fairy lights for a whimsical touch. Crocheting these pine trees is a great way to relax and get into the festive spirit, plus they make wonderful homemade gifts for loved ones. So, grab your crochet hook, gather your green yarn, and let's get crafting these adorable little trees that will certainly bring joy and warmth to your home this holiday season!

Here’s the scoop: I used two thread types – Aunt Lydia’s Fashion 3 thread (Sage Green color) and Aunt Lydia’s Classic 10 thread (Christmas Green color) for the tree and Aunt Lydia’s Fashion 3 (true Brown color) for the trunk. My hook sizes were a C/2-2.75mm for tree and size 5/1.90mm (steel hook) for trunk.

Using the sage green and Christmas green together, make 18 chain (Ch) stitches.

In 3rd chain from hook, complete a Dc (double crochet), make 15 more Dc stitches to end of row, Ch 2, turn.

Rnd 2: 1 Dc Dec (double crochet decrease), 12 Dc, 1 Dc Dec, Ch 2, turn.

Rnd 3: 1 Dc Dec, 10 Dc, 1 Dc Dec, Ch 2, turn.

Rnd 4: 1 Dc Dec, 8 Dc, 1 Dc Dec, Ch 2, turn.

Rnd 5: 1 Dc Dec, 6 Dc, 1 Dc Dec, Ch 2, turn.

Rnd 6: 1 Dc Dec, 4 Dc, 1 Dc Dec, Ch 2, turn.

Rnd 7: 2 Dc Dec – Don’t Fasten Off

Rnd 8: Forming loop – working directly from last stitch, Ch 12, work Sc (single crochet) in top of last Dc Dec.

Rnd 9: Ch 1, then complete a slip stitch in each of the chains just completed. Fasten Off, leaving about a 6″ – 8″ tail.

Wrap tail around the bottom of the loop, pull tail through your wrap and then weave securely through the stitches on the back side.

Making trunk: Using the size 3 brown thread and the #5 steel hook, skip the first 6 stitches on bottom edge and complete 6 Sc, Ch l, turn. Repeat this pattern for a total of 6 rows and fasten off.

Now your little tree is ready as is or take time to embellish it with tiny buttons or sequins and beads or maybe use premade ribbon bows or roses. You can hand sew your buttons to the tree or use a Fabri-Tac glue to secure your decorations. Maybe a “little one” could help you pick out what buttons or beads to use for your decorating. Then have them hang it on your tree or use it for whatever creative idea will work for you.
