Tiny Garland Crochet Christmas Tree | Free Crochet Pattern
I am so excited to welcome Agat as our guest designer on my website this month. I’ve had the pleasure of working with this crochet designer in a number of events, including the Summer Exclusives event in 2021, Without delay, I will let you meet Agat and check out her fabulous free crochet Christmas Tree pattern.
Hello! I’m Agat, the crochet designer and blogger behind Made by Gootie. I’m excited to be a guest designer at Fiona’s wonderful blog, and so happy she wanted me to share this little tree with you!
For those of you who don’t know me, I live in Israel near the Mediterranean Sea with my husband, our daughter and two cats.
I started designing a few years ago and I love creating modern home décor items and accessories.
About The Tiny Garland Crochet Christmas Tree Inspiration
The Tiny Garland Christmas Tree is the third tree in the Tiny Trees series, along with the Bobbles Christmas Tree and Tiny Lights Christmas Tree.
The inspiration for the first tree was a friend who asked for a Christmas decoration she can put on the shelf, since she didn’t have a tree.
Although I don’t celebrate Christmas, I had so much fun designing and making these little trees with the different decorations!

The Yarn Used for this Free Christmas Tree Crochet Pattern
I used Fingering (#1) cotton yarn, I prefer to work with cotton wherever I can (I love the feel better and it’s more ecological) and I wanted my tree to result in a small size.
Some of my testers have used DK (#3) yarn for their tree and the result is still beautiful – just a bit bigger.

Finished Size:
- 4.5” (11cm) tall, 2.5” (6.35cm) diameter base.
Pattern Notes:
- The tree is worked from bottom up, in continuous rounds (no need to slip stitch at the end of the round).
- To make it easier to keep track of each round, you can place a stitch marker in the first stitch of the round.
- The strings around the tree are made from picots worked one after another.
- Each round after a picot strings round, is worked into two rounds below (back into the main color).
- Work the picot a bit loose to get a nice puff.
- When changing colors: at the last stitch of the round, before changing color, start the stitch as normal, when you pull the yarn through the loop to finish the stitch, wrap the new color around the hook and pull through.
Eco-friendly tip: mix your fiberfill with your yarn leftovers instead of throwing them away (or use just your leftovers)!
