DIY Crochet Christmas Tree Kit with Yarn, Hook, Faux Pearls and Bow

A DIY kit for crocheting your own little Christmas tree, built up in tiers of soft ruffles trimmed in white, dotted with faux pearls and finished with a bow on top. The yarn, the crochet hook, the pearls and the bow all come in the kit, so you can sit down and start, and when you are done you have a tree for the shelf that you made yourself.

No hunting for matching yarn. No guessing at the hook. No trip to the craft store for the pearls.

Ruffles and pearls where the needles would be

Most small trees are a cone of plastic needles with a dusting of fake snow on top. This one is crochet, in tiers that flare out and fold into deep, wavy ruffles, each a little wider than the one above it, so the outline steps out toward the base the way a real fir does.

The tiers are edged with a fine white scalloped trim, and the faux pearls sit in the folds like tiny baubles. Every stitch shows in the finished tree, which gives it a warm, soft texture that glass and plastic decorations do not have. Finished, it stands about 5.9 inches tall.

Three colorways, all in Christmas colors

Red and Green is the classic pairing. Green tiers trimmed in white alternate with deep red ruffles, all the way down to a red tier at the base, under a red bow.

Red and White and Green and White each keep to one main color. Their tiers are edged in white, with a single white tier near the base and a matching bow on top, red on the red tree and green on the green. Both sit easily beside the decorations you already own, and two or three trees in different colors along a sideboard read like a small forest.

A quiet project now, a decoration every Christmas after

Some evenings call for something to do with your hands that is not a screen. The yarn, a cup of tea and a tree that grows a little every time you pick it up is about as calm as the season gets, and you can put it down mid-tier and come back to it the next night.

When it is done, stand it on the mantel among candles and greenery, on a windowsill where the daylight catches the pearls, or on a bedside table or a desk. Each year when the decorations come out of the box, there is one you crocheted yourself.
