Crocheted Christmas Tree Amigurumi Pattern

Bring a festive touch to your holiday decorating or gifting with this charming crocheted Christmas tree amigurumi. The pattern is comprised of clear rounds with steadily increasing stitches for a realistic, layered tree effect, and includes distinctive chains for “garland” decorating each row. This project is ideal for practicing half double crochet in the round and finishing with pretty embellishments in any color you like.

Pattern Basic Points

  • The Christmas tree is worked in a continuous spiral; a stitch marker is needed to mark the beginning of each round.
  • Structure is achieved through regular increases and special attention to working in the back loops for defining garland layers.
  • Chains are added at the end to mimic garland looping across the tree’s layers.
  • All stitches are worked as half double crochet to create a dense, textured surface.
  • Chain loops are added after tree construction, using the exposed back loops from specified rounds.

Special Notes

  • To achieve a tree that stands upright, stuff lightly and evenly, especially toward the base.
  • When working rounds in back loops only (BLO), this leaves front loops available for adding decorative chains in finishing steps.
  • Use an eye-catching color for the garland/chain overlay to make the tree festive.
  • When adding chains, consistently skip 2 front loops between each chain to maintain even spacing.
  • As rounds are worked in a spiral, the starting point of rounds will slant slightly; adjust joining of garland chain accordingly.

Skill Level

This pattern is suitable for beginners, provided you are comfortable with half double crochet, increasing, decreasing, color changes, and working in spirals.

Materials

  • DK or light worsted weight yarn in green for the tree and a contrasting color (such as pink, gold, or silver) for garlands.
  • 3.5 mm crochet hook
  • Polyester fiberfill stuffing
  • Large-eye tapestry needle (fog needle)
  • Stitch marker or row counter
  • Scissors

Measurements / Sizing

  • The finished tree measures approximately 12–15 cm in height, depending on yarn and stuffing.

Gauge is not critical, but work tight enough so that stuffing does not show through. For reference, 20 hdc x 14 rows = 10x10 cm in half double crochet.

Garland Chains (Worked on FLO lines from BLO rounds):

  1. Attach contrast yarn to the front loop of any stitch on your selected BLO round.
  2. Ch 5, skip 2 front loops, sl st into next front loop. Repeat around that round.
  3. Join rounds neatly with an invisible finish at the start/end.
  4. Fasten off, repeat for every BLO round visible (i.e., all those where you worked BLO for tree shaping).
  5. Weave in all ends.

Assembly & Finished Size

  • No assembly is required as the tree is worked in one continuous piece.
  • Add stuffing when decreases begin, shaping as you go and ensuring a flat-ish bottom for upright sitting.
  • The decorative chains are added after the main structure is finished and stuffing is complete.
  • Final height is approx. 12–15 cm (adjusts with yarn, hook, and tension).

Conclusion

This crocheted Christmas tree pattern blends classic construction with charming chain garlands for a playful holiday accent. The repetitive rounds and simple increases make it accessible even for newer crocheters, while decorative possibilities offer ample room for creativity with color and embellishments. This tree stands as a festive display piece—customizable for various seasonal palettes and suitable as a whimsical gift or decor for gatherings throughout the winter season.
