This year I’m unusually early crocheting (and designing) my first Christmas ornaments. It’s all got to do with my 6 (nearly 7) year old who is obsessed with Christmas. And it’s contagious! I mean, what’s not to like about lovely lights, warmth and coziness and good food! Next week our Nordmann Christmas tree will be delivered and we’re ready!
The K-Christmas tree
This crocheted Christmas tree is very versatile. You could make a wall-hanging out of it, or crochet several trees and make a Christmas bunting. Or you could hang them in your Christmas tree.
Don’t hesitate to play around with colours!
As an extra, totally in the holiday spirit, I made a free PDF available in my Ravelry shop.
