Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, your pattern is so easy! There are few symbols of Christmas that are more recognizable than a classic Christmas tree. But what if your tree could have little trees of its own? That’s where these fun, fast, cute ornaments come in! They have an adorable and festive look with very little effort. Plus, they come in two sizes – so you can enjoy a little variety in your tree ornaments!

Pin it for later!

If you’ve been keeping up with my other 12 Weeks of Christmas patterns, you know that I’m a big fan of fun, unique ornaments (mermaids, kawaii food, you name it!). But this time I went a bit more traditional with some tranquil evergreens with snow-tipped branches. That being said, you could really mix it up with these trees, too, and create a more non-traditional look – like pastel or rainbow toned trees! Whatever your tastes are, you can express them through these fun little trees!

As you may know from my other patterns, I’m a big fan of Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice. With a wide range of colors and sturdy medium weight texture, it’s great for small projects like amigurumi (as well as other projects). I decided not to go too dark with the green tone in the spirit of keeping the look bright and cheery. I chose “Fern” (on Amazon HERE!), which is a nice medium grass-green! The snow is classic “White” (on Amazon HERE!).

And if your tree is already full this year, no worries! You can also use these trees as cute little decorations on a tabletop. They’d look great in any room – as part of a dining room centerpiece, on a coffee or end table in the living room, next to the coffee maker in the kitchen, etc.!

So who’s ready to trim…err…crochet….these little trees? Let’s get started!!!
