The Free Christmas Tree Applique Crochet Pattern – A Tree For You A Tree For Me

Here in the US, Christmas season is fully underway. My day(ish) job is at a retail establishment and so for me, it’s been Christmas season since the beginning of November. To be honest with you, I’m actually in quite the Christmas spirit this year. My husband returns from deployment sometime around then, my brother and his girlfriend are coming to visit me and there will be baking! Cookies, pies and more. 😀
So in my Christmas spirit I’ve been working on earrings of the Christmas variety:

owls that remind me of candy canes, stockings, Christmas trees, Christmas cupcakes and candy cane inspired chevron earrings.
I’m also working on a new hat and some boot cuffs for the Willow line.
And to spread the cheer, I want to share with you the pattern for the Christmas tree earrings, which I also worked into a applique that I’m going to wear as broach/ button for work. 🙂

Thank you to all my Patreon supporters.

With the RS facing you, flip your tree so you’re working into the other side of Row 1. Skip 3 sts from the end and pull up a loop in the next st in color B.

Finishing
Like I do with all my earrings, I stiffened these with fabric stiffener. Just wet them down with the stiffener (I dilute it with water) and lay them flat to dry completely. When they’re dry, attach the findings, such as jump rings, and wear. Feel Free to add some dots in puffy paint to customize this design.

Finishing
I used puffy paint to decorate the trees, but you could glue beads on the trees, or whatever you’d like. Have fun with it! To make the goofy lil’ stars at the top I drew a star on parchment paper and let ‘3m dry and then glued it to the top of the trees.

Tada! I hope you love these lil’s just like I do and make some great trees!
