If you enjoy DIY, then it’s no different at Christmas time. These delightful little crochet Christmas trees are a quick project and you can make as few or as many as you want!
I am so excited to place these all around my house this Christmas, making the whole house a little Christmas tree forest!
(I guess technically that would be a pine tree forest, but I like the idea of it being a Christmas tree forest better)
I think my favorite part is that there are 4 different sizes of trees, from itty bitty to a decent sized “big” tree (8.5 inches tall). So you can mix and match depending on the sizes and styles you like the best!
The two middle sizes do look somewhat similar, but one is a skinnier tree that pairs really well with the biggest tree (in case you only wanted to do two that match) and the other is a bit fatter of a tree that pairs better with the smallest tree.
When C saw all of them together he said, “Hey, that’s like in Little Blue Truck!” The Christmas version indeed has several different sized and shaped trees that the Little Blue Truck and his friend Toad deliver to all of their friends.
(So if you wanted a great gift idea for a little one, you could make these and add them to the Sleepy Time Truck and make your own version of Little Blue Truck’s Christmas!)
How to Crochet Christmas Trees
The best part is, you really don’t need a whole lot to get started- just some green yarn, a 4.5 mm crochet hook and something to stuff it with! A tapestry needle would also be great to have, but really, you could pull the tail through the loops with the crochet hook and then tie it in a knot if you don’t have one.
However, it may not sit the way you want and may not be as durable.
You’ll also need something to mark the first stitch of each round. That could be a stitch marker you bought or it could be a spare piece of yarn that you use (and you could also use spare pieces of yarn to stuff your trees!).
So in addition to being a quick project, it can be pretty economical, too!

Yarn Information
I used Loops and Threads Impeccable in Forest, but any worsted weight (#4) yarn in your favorite color will work. (I love the Paintbox yarns from Lovecrafts in Pine Green or Grass Green to either match what I have or to add a nice pop of green!)

- 7.5 yards for the smallest tree
- 20 yards for the small tree
- 25 yards for the medium tree
- 54 yards for the tallest tree

4.5 mm crochet hook (size 7) (here’s an affordable option if you don’t have one)

These trees are so cute and I just can’t wait for Christmas time to be here! They’re going to be all over my house! (I’m pretty sure I’ve said that a bunch, but I don’t think my husband is prepared for the amount of tiny crocheted Christmas trees that will be everywhere!)
But do they look a little plain to you? Maybe you would prefer a Christmas tree that looks more, well Christmas-tree like (with the decorations and what not). Check out the Mix and Match Christmas Tree Decorations!
