Crochet Ribbon Christmas Tree Pattern

Posted on November 17, 2015 by poppyandbliss

Hello friends

Can you believe it’s nearly Christmas !? Nope. Me either! My head is still firmly stuck way back in
June somewhere and I’m not at all ready to start thinking about Turduckens or Christmas cheer.

Despite my un-christmasy mood, I’ve put together a quick and easy pa ern for you to deck your
halls (or tree).

So without further ado here ’tis…

Crochet Ribbon Christmas Tree

Finished size: 13 cm

What you’ll need:

3 mm hook
Small amounts 8 ply/DK co on yarn. I’ve used various brands from my stash but a stiffer co on
works be er than a soft co on for these.
Aprox 13g for the tree

Aprox 3 g each in 6 different colours for the baubles


Yarn needle

Tip: You can use any weight yarn for these but they will turn out a different size. Use a hook smaller
than you normally would for your yarn so that your work is nice and firm.

US Terms Used (UK/Aus terms in brackets)

Abbreviations:

ch – chain

sc (dc) – single crochet (double crochet)

hdc (htr) – half double crochet (half treble)

ss – slip stitch

Pa ern

Tree – Make 1

Foundation row: Ch 182

Row 1: Hdc (htr) into 3rd ch from hook, hdc (htr) up to last ch, 5 hdc (htr) into last ch

Row 2: Turn work upside down and work into bo om loop of ch, hdc (htr) up to last st, 4 hdc (htr)
into last st. Join with a ss into top of beginning ch-2. Fasten off and weave ends in.

Baubles – make 6

Worked in spiral rounds

Start: Leaving a long tail (about an arms length) to be used for stuffing later, make a magic circle

Round 1: working into ring, ch 1 (not counted as a st), 6 sc (dc)

Round 2: 2 sc (dc) into each st (12 sc/dc)

Round 3: 12 sc (dc)

Round 4: * skip one st, sc (dc) into next st. Repeat from * 5 more times, stopping half way to insert
stuffing (roll long yarn tail into a rough ball shape and squish into half closed ball. Use the blunt end
of your hook to help push it all in before you finish closing). Join with a ss.

Fasten off and bury yarn end back up through centre of ball. Clip closely.

Assembly:

Step 1: Lay your tree piece out on a flat surface and fold end back aprox 8.5 cm

Crochet Ribbon Christmas Tree Pattern | poppyandbliss https://poppyandbliss.com/2015/11/17/crochet-ribbon-christmas-tree-pa...

Step 2: Keep folding up, making each fold slightly shorter than the last until it looks something like
this

Step 3: Place your first bauble at the base of your tree and continue up, placing baubles between 2
layers of each fold (see pic). You’ll probably have to fiddle a bit to get your folds looking right (and
will need to fiddle even more when you start sewing in a minute)

When you’re happy with your tree shape, thread your needle with a length of yarn aprox 40 cm,
using the colour of your choice (this will also become the hanging loop)

Crochet Ribbon Christmas Tree Pattern | poppyandbliss https://poppyandbliss.com/2015/11/17/crochet-ribbon-christmas-tree-pa...

Step 4: Starting with the bo om bauble, secure your thread with a couple of small stitches in the
centre top of the bauble (you won’t see this as this side will rest up against the bo om of the tree)

Crochet Ribbon Christmas Tree Pattern | poppyandbliss https://poppyandbliss.com/2015/11/17/crochet-ribbon-christmas-tree-pa...

Step 5: Take your needle up through the first layers, pick up your next bauble and run needle up
through the centre and then through the next set of layers.

Continue joining together this way until all baubles are a ached.

Step 6: Give the tail end a li le tug to tighten (don’t pull too hard or you’ll squish your baubles out
of shape).

Crochet Ribbon Christmas Tree Pattern | poppyandbliss https://poppyandbliss.com/2015/11/17/crochet-ribbon-christmas-tree-pa...

Step 7: Make a hanging loop with the remaining yarn by going back down through the centre of the
top bauble and make a few small stitches into the bo om of the bauble and the top layer of the tree to
secure.

Give your tree a li le ‘foof’ and hang for everyone to admire.

Hi Debra
The baubles are the round balls in the tree. The instructions are in the pa ern but if you prefer
you can just use beads instead.

Hi there, yes 182 ch is correct. My finished ribbon ended up aprox 80 cm so you may have
looser tension than I do to end up with a bigger tree.

love the tree!!! I’m using a variegated thinker yarn…a tad fuzzy and thicker is spots…using a 3.25
hook…nearly 2 sizes smaller than the yarn requires….turning out well!

when pu ing the tree “together” I took another small hook and poked it through the base of the
tree to hold it together then i placed the balls next to it and drew the needle through works
like a charm!

I made this, slight smaller to suit, and the result is great! One suggestion that worked for me – I
left a long tail to begin, and used the beginning end as the top, then used the tail instead of a
separate thread.

Hi Grace it is a bit fiddly, I didn’t do anything special except to use the end of my hook to get
the yarn stuffed in and give them a squish with my fingers to make them more rounded.
Maybe cut some of your tail off and try with less yarn might help. Cheers Michelle

Just wondering – when you say foundation row:CH182, do you mean you have to do the
foundation chain, a normal chain then start the next step, OR do you mean do your chains, do sc
to make the chain stiff and not turn then start the next step.

Seems lately I’ve been seeing foundation chain on pa erns and everyone wants you to do
something different with it. I really want to give this a go, but want to clarify which way you
mean first. Thanks!
