This free crochet Christmas tree pattern makes a cheerful three-tier tree with a happy face and a golden star on top. The amigurumi Christmas tree has snowy white scalloped trims on every tier, colorful red, blue, yellow and pink bauble bobbles, rosy cheeks and a little brown trunk. The three stacked cones and the trunk are worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook, the trims and padded baubles are sewn on, and with its 12 mm safety eyes and star it stands about 22 cm (8.5 in) tall. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every bauble goes.
