Medium Tree: 11″ x 5.25″

Gauge: 4×4″ of double crochet = 10 stitches x 7 rows. Ultimately with these, gauge doesn’t matter. It won’t have to fit someone’s body or a specific space.

What makes this crochet pattern eco-friendly and sustainable?

THE YARN: I use only sustainable and eco-friendly yarn that has been ethically grown/raised and processed, putting the people and the planet first. This is why I chose 100% recycled cotton yarn for this pattern.

THE SLOW YARN MOVEMENT: I’m participating in the Slow Yarn Movement. There’s far too much to talk about here, but please take a few minutes to learn about what this means by reading the article I wrote about the Slow Yarn Movement as part of my 6-part Sustainable Crochet Series.

Crochet Christmas Tree Pattern

NOTES:

• The tree is worked in continuous rounds – do not join each round
• The method is the same for the small, medium and large tree – but the larger the tree, the more rounds. Take note in the pattern below where to stop for each of the sizes. The last row of each of the trees will always be a row of slip stitches.
• The bpdc in this pattern is made around the short post immediately under the top 2 loops of the stitch VERSUS around the long post (see photo immediately below).

Use the yarn color for the size tree you’re making.
