Behold our christmas tree in all its crochet glory! Doesn’t it look christmassy, colourful and wonderfully crochety? (On this blog, crochety is a word okay?)
You will recognize the granny stars from previous posts. After selling one star at the market and giving 30 away, the rest went onto our tree. Now I’m actually glad they didn’t sell at the market because they look every so cheery on our tree.
The round decorations are rounds 1- 3 of Attic24’s hexagons and the christmas star at the top of the tree is this Super Mario Invincibility Star pattern. I left an opening between two of the points, and also ironed on fabric interfacing to the wrong side before sewing the two halves together so that it would keep its shape on top of the tree. It worked a charm.
All the decorations are done with Rowan handknit cotton in Bleached, Rosso and Gooseberry.
The stars even look good as part of the christmas wrapping!
Have you made crochet christmas decorations? Have you decorated your christmas tree? I’d love to hear from you!

LOVE this! I began crocheting this September and have begun to make ornaments for our tree next year. It’s 8 feet tall and extremely wide so a year should be enough time to make them. On a side note, the new Muppet movie has a crochet blanket and pillows in one scene. 🙂
Thanks Jess! Wow, a 8 foot tree, that’s a big one! I agree that you probably won’t be able to cover it in crochet ornaments this year 🙂 However, it will look amazing when it’s finished! Thanks for the headsup on the Muppet movie – I had no intention of watching it, but you’ve changed my mind. Although, I think I’ll have to wait for the DVD as I don’t think fellow movie goers will love me much if I jump up in the cinema with my camera …. 😀
Sooo pretty Natasja! I’m using Lucy’s Summer Gardens Squares’ first 3 rounds for my circles, which will be going outside on FIL’s tree…
this is the Christmas tree of my dreams!!!! I love it 🙂 I have made a few crochetted ornaments for my Xmas tree this year, but not as many as I wanted (my Xmas tree is there: http://loisirspassion.wordpress.com/2011/12/15/une-foret-de-sapins-de-noel/)
