Crochet Christmas tree made of air loops. New Year's knitted trees with MK from Irina Burkova

08.11.2019

To make a Christmas tree we will need: green yarn, approximately 80 g (I have NAKO Bambino 50g/130m, 25% wool, 75% acrylic); red yarn for the star; filler; hook No. 3; large beads, glue.

Description of knitting Christmas tree:

Using a green thread we cast on a chain of 70 chain stitches - ch. (the number of loops must be a multiple of 7), close it into a ring.

1st row: Three ch. for lifting, double crochet (dc) in each loop.

2nd row: Three ch. for lifting and begin tying the dc of the previous row, make 7 dc, 1 ch, again 7 dc, tying the next dc of the previous row; it turns out to be a feather; then we skip 5 dc and tie the dc of the previous row - 7 dc, 1 ch, 7 dc, tying the dc of the previous row. We continue this way until the end of the row, at the end of the row we make a connecting column in the vp. lifting chains; I got 10 feathers.

3-8 row: knit similarly to 2-3 rows.

Row 9: in this row we make decreases, but pay attention! The feathers should remain in a checkerboard pattern; in the gap where there are three feathers, I knitted the dc not in every loop, but every other one, or twice. You should get 56 dcs.

10th row: knit as the second row, number of feathers 8.

11,13, 15 rows: 56 SSN.

Rows 12,14,16: 8 feathers.

Row 17: make decreases, do not forget about the order of the feathers. It turns out 42 CCH

18, 20, 22, 24 rows: 6 feathers.

Rows 19, 21, 23: 42 Dc.

Row 25: Decrease 28 dc.

26, 28, 30, 32 rows: 4 feathers

Rows 27, 29, 31: 42 Dc.

Row 33: decrease 27 dc.

Rows 34, 36, 38, 40: 3 feathers.

Rows 35, 37, 39, 41: 27 DC, break the thread.

We decorate the Christmas tree. I glued beads to the top of each feather.

Making a star: take a red thread, cast on 5 ch, connect it into a ring.

1st row: knit 10 sc into a ring;

2nd row: 15 RLS

3rd row: 20 RLS.

We knit two circles of the required size, it all depends on the thickness of the yarn.

Divide the number of loops of the last row of the circle by five, and in these places we connect with two vp. both circles; it turns out five holes. Then we tie these holes, evenly decreasing towards the top, so we knit 4 tops and stuff them with filler.

We knit the fifth top, gradually filling it. The result is a three-dimensional star.

Sew the star to the top of the Christmas tree.

We stuff the Christmas tree with padding polyester, knit a circle equal to the circumference of the bottom of the Christmas tree and sew it on. Already during the process, I placed cardboard so that the Christmas tree was stable.

The beautiful Christmas tree is ready to celebrate the New Year. Happy upcoming year everyone!

Preparations for the New Year have not only reached the finish line - one might say, stomping their hoofs and releasing clouds of steam from their heated nostrils, they directly and clearly indicate that it is time to curtail pre-holiday activities and limit themselves to watching “The Irony of Fate” and cutting salads. The time to start new projects remains in the previous calendar sheets, the stones are scattered, it’s time to collect them. However... well, how can one deny oneself the pleasure of starting and implementing at least one more tiny New Year's project? The smallest one! Well, for example, a crocheted Christmas tree - you can choose a model that will require just a little time. A couple of hours before bed - and you have a cute one ready new year symbol, knitted flat herringbone, which pleases the eye and warms the soul. Is it possible to ignore such an idea? So, knitting small Christmas trees, we increase the festive mood factor!

We knit a flat herringbone - 5 “quick” projects:

1. Simple openwork Christmas tree

New Year is perhaps the most favorite holiday among both children and adults: no other day brings so much exciting anticipation, faith in miracles and love. It is a special pleasure to prepare for this day. This means that you shouldn’t neglect the opportunity to give yourself such joy - be sure to knit a couple of light openwork Christmas trees, it will be even more fun and joyful with them!

2. Triangle lace tree

By the way, have you already wrapped all your gifts? No? So that's healthy! Consider that you have a good reason to put everything aside and sit down with knitting in your favorite chair: you need decor for holiday packaging, right? Wow, that means we need to deal with it urgently. Knit a couple of flat Christmas trees - pack a gift for your loved ones.

3. Tight knit Christmas tree

Or maybe you also need to decorate the house? Not everything and everywhere is full of New Year's symbols? This means you can crochet a flat Christmas tree and sew it, for example, on a sofa cushion - here it is, New Year's beauty, all in its naive simplicity and some kind of childish soulfulness! Is it possible to neglect the opportunity to create this miracle?

4. “Graphic” Christmas tree in a square

Well, okay, okay, this is not the “fastest” project, but, you see, it’s one of the most stylish! A square Christmas tree is a great idea for decorating, for example, a New Year's card. Well, or an investment in a future blanket - don’t you think that by the next New Year you vitally need a new blanket with Christmas trees?

5. Multi-colored knitted Christmas tree

Collect leftover threads from previous projects - it's time to knit beauty! Small, charming, colorful, cheerful, beautiful, joyful Christmas trees will decorate the space and lift the spirits of even the most hardened cynics who do not believe in New Year's miracles. Well, you must agree, for the sake of such Christmas trees it’s worth putting them aside

Small crochet herringbone- a great handmade gift for your loved ones. It’s nice that several of these trees can be made at once, which means all friends and acquaintances can be gifted for the New Year. This project is quite simple to carry out, and its author, Annoo, provided detailed instructions and even developed a master class for beginners; knitters with some experience can handle it from the picture.

We at Handicraft Runet decided that such a cheerful Christmas tree would be a great project for everyone to make together in a friendly company. We will not rush, every day a small stage of work awaits us. Our collaboration starts on Monday, November 21st and will last a week. We invite everyone!

So let's see what materials we need?

Remains of any yarn, preferably not very thick, in two colors. In one color we knit the main part of the conical Christmas tree. You can choose any color; who said that a Christmas tree toy must be green? We will need the second color for the bottom of the Christmas tree and the trunk. Yarn in dark shades, such as brown, is best suited;

Beads or small beads with which we will decorate our Christmas tree;

Christmas tree filler;

A hook, the size of which is suitable for the thickness of the yarn;

Textile needle for sewing beads.

Now let's see how to knit a Christmas tree. First, let's take a look at Annoo's blog page, where she published a description of the work and master class on crocheting a Christmas tree. The English language is not a hindrance for us, we will knit the Christmas tree together and consistently analyze and translate all the necessary information.

First, it is important for us to analyze the process of work itself. We start by knitting the main part of the Christmas tree in the shape of a cone. It is knitted from the top in a spiral with single crochets, alternating rows behind the front and behind the back wall, so as to create a voluminous effect. You may need markers to help you avoid confusion when knitting rows. We do not make increments in every row in order to achieve a conical shape of the toy. Then we immediately embroider the main part of the Christmas tree with beads or beads.

Now it’s time to tie the “bottom” of the Christmas tree and the trunk. To do this, you need to complete two details. The first piece is round in shape; we knit it from dark-colored yarn, keeping in mind. The trunk is knitted in single crochets over two walls in a circle.

All three parts are ready, all we have to do is assemble the Christmas tree and sew a loop to it, if necessary.

Our beauty is ready!

Row 4: behind the BACK wall of the stitches of the 2nd row (attention! not the third row, which would be as easy as shelling pears, but the second row, otherwise you won’t get the required volumetric effect) we knit single crochets in the following sequence: 1 sc in the sc of the 2nd row, then 2 RLS in the next RLS of the 2nd row, alternating until the end of the row (= 18 RLS). If any difficulties arise, do not forget to consult the Annoo master class.

Row 5: 1 sc in each sc of the previous row (= 18 sc).

Row 6: 1 RLS in each RLS of the previous row BEHIND THE FRONT wall of the column (= 18 RLS).

Row 13: behind the BACK wall of the columns of the 11th row we knit single crochets in the following sequence: (4 RLS in a row in each column of the 11th row for the back loop, then 2 RLS in the next, fifth RLS of the 11th row), alternating until the end of the row ( = 36 sc).

Row 14: 1 sc in each sc of the previous row (= 36 sc).

Row 15: 1 RLS in each RLS of the previous row BEHIND THE FRONT wall of the column (= 36 RLS).

Row 16: behind the BACK wall of the stitches of the 14th row we knit single crochets in the following sequence: (5 sc in a row in each stitch of the 14th row for the back loop, then 2 sc in the next, sixth sc of the 14th row), alternating until the end of the row ( = 42 sc).

Row 17: 1 sc in each sc of the previous row (= 42 sc).

Row 18: 1 RLS in each RLS of the previous row BEHIND THE FRONT wall of the column (= 42 RLS).

Row 19: behind the BACK wall of the stitches of the 17th row we knit single crochets in the following sequence: (6 sc in a row in each stitch of the 17th row for the back loop, then 2 sc in the next, seventh sc of the 17th row), alternating until the end of the row ( = 48 sc).

Row 20: 1 sc in each sc of the previous row (= 48 sc).

Row 21: 1 RLS in each RLS of the previous row BEHIND THE FRONT wall of the column (= 48 RLS).

Row 22: behind the BACK wall of the columns of the 20th row we knit single crochets in the following sequence: (7 sc in a row in each column of the 20th row for the back loop, then 2 sc in the next, eighth sc of the 20th row), alternating until the end of the row ( = 54 sc).

Row 23: 1 sc in each sc of the previous row (= 54 sc).

Row 24: 1 RLS in each RLS of the previous row BEHIND THE FRONT wall of the column (= 54 RLS).

Row 25: behind the BACK wall of the stitches of the 23rd row we knit single crochets in the following sequence: (8 sc in a row in each stitch of the 23rd row for the back loop, then 2 sc in the next, ninth sc of the 23rd row), alternating until the end of the row ( = 60 sc).

Row 26: 1 sc in each sc of the previous row (= 60 sc).

Row 27: 1 RLS in each RLS of the previous row BEHIND THE FRONT wall of the column (= 60 RLS).

Row 28: behind the BACK wall of the stitches of the 26th row we knit single crochets in the following sequence: (9 sc in a row in each stitch of the 26th row for the back loop, then 2 sc in the next, tenth sc of the 26th row), alternating until the end of the row ( = 66 sc).

The main conical part of the Christmas tree is ready.

A small comment after completing the first part of the Christmas tree:

If you follow the description exactly, you will get a fairly regular cone around the body of the Christmas tree. If you want your Christmas tree to be a little elongated, as in the photo from Annoo, then rows with increases (which are behind the back wall) need to be diluted with rows without increases (in the same way, knitting columns behind the back wall). In addition, please note that the designer Christmas trees in the photo have more rows than in the description. Annoo's description shows and explains the knitting principle well. You can play with the size of the Christmas tree and its shape the way you want.

Stage 2. We knit the bottom of the Christmas tree

Please note: this piece is knitted in a spiral pattern. If you have difficulties knitting this part, we recommend that you follow the link above to the Annoo blog and look at the photos of the master class on knitting the bottom.

Row 1:, then a chain loop and 6 single crochets (RS).

Row 2: We knit 2 single crochets (SC) in each column of the previous row (= 12 SC).

Row 3: 2 sc in the sc of the previous row, 1 sc in the next sc of the previous row, alternate until the end of the row (= 18 sc).

Row 4: sequentially in each RLS of the previous row: 2 RLS in one column, 1 RLS, 1 RLS, repeat the sequence until the end of the row (= 24 RLS).

Row 5: sequentially in each RLS of the previous row: 2 RLS in one column, 1 RLS, 1 RLS, 1 RLS, repeat the sequence until the end of the row (= 30 RLS).

We continue to knit further rows of the bottom, making increases according to the same system as in the previous rows, until we reach the desired diameter of the bottom (each row increases by 6 loops). You can make the bottom narrower than the main conical part of the Christmas tree, or you can precisely adjust it to the diameter of the Christmas tree body, the decision is yours.

Take a look at the page of our colleague in our VKontakte group and see

From these snow-white (if desired, you can take threads of a different color) Christmas trees you can knit a whole magical fairy-tale forest; they will be a wonderful New Year’s decoration in the house:

And this elegant bright Christmas tree is knitted with a fillet pattern according to the specified pattern.

Another option for knitting a Christmas tree:

It’s easy to knit a Christmas tree to decorate a holiday table or a workplace in the office. You will need green and white iris type yarn, a 2.5 or 3 hook, beads or seed beads, ribbons or other decorations.

I propose this simple scheme

You need to knit in the round to the desired height of the Christmas tree. At the end of knitting, tie the resulting spiral with white threads using the so-called chain stitch and

Decorate the resulting Christmas tree with beads, garlands of beads or satin ribbons. Or use other decorations.

I will offer a somewhat unusual way of knitting a Christmas tree toy. We will crochet, but use rings like this:

These rings are sometimes left over from curtains in the bathroom, or maybe you have an old set of curtains in your room. In principle, they are not expensive and you can buy them.) You will also need a wine cork and a rod on which we will string the tied rings.

Now we tie all the rings. This results in a set like this:

Now we do this:

And here we get beauty:

Adding another crocheted Christmas tree.

We need hook 1

thin yarn of green or white color.

We knit the legs of our Christmas tree according to this pattern.

The first tied strip should contain 12 spruce legs.

We knit a few more strips. In each next strip we remove 1 foot.

The last strip should have three legs.

You should get 10 strips.

We make a semicircle of fabric with a radius of 20 cm and a bottom with a radius of 5 cm. This will be a cone.

We sew the semicircle and stuff it with synthetic padding. We close it with the bottom and sew it on.

The cone must be wrapped in shiny fabric and sewn starting from the bottom of the strip.

When we sew all the strips, we decorate the top.

You can glue beads onto glue as in the photo. You can make a star out of shiny foil. Whatever you like best. This is such a beautiful openwork Christmas tree.

A very beautiful and good idea to crochet a Christmas tree. With these Christmas trees, you can decorate your apartment, or make a gift Christmas tree where you can put a small gift or candy.

You can knit such a pretty Christmas tree.

Here is a diagram for increasing the loops for knitting such a Christmas tree

And we start knitting from a circle on top, as in the photo

Now, let's start knitting twigs and so on down to the bottom.

More details on how to knit such a Christmas tree and with a description can be seen here. There is also an idea for crocheting a Christmas tree.

Here we start knitting from the bottom, having prepared a cone of cardboard, first we just knit the base, and then we knit the needles separately, we wrap this strip around our base and secure it.

And then, you can decorate it as desired, we will make a star from felt or wool, you can sew buttons like toys.

Let's make a cute Christmas tree with our own hands. This is an original crocheted craft. She will delight you with her presence in the interior. You can give this toy to someone. A very interesting idea is to crochet a Christmas tree.

For example, this one.

Let's take everything we need for this:

First you need to build a cone out of cardboard.

It is better to make the Christmas tree an elongated shape rather than a squat one; this should be used as a guide when creating a cone.

How to knit a Christmas tree: first, make a ring of air loops of the same diameter around the circumference of the cone. Next, they are tied, following the contours of the cone, decreasing the loops as necessary. We tie the cone. The knitted cone will look exactly the same, like a cardboard one.

We leave the finished knitted cone on top of the cardboard cone, sewing them at the bottom with small stitches, plain threads with a Christmas tree.

To create a curly crown for a Christmas tree, we make it in small rectangular parts. First, knit a rectangle of six stitches wide, four rows high. Knitting is done in single crochets.

The length of the loops can be different, depending on the number of branches on the tree. Next, we repeat the same thing, continuing to knit a second rectangle, a third, etc. Many rectangles form a garland. We will use it to form a lush Christmas tree around the circumference of the cone, wrapping around the cone, starting from the base. We fix the garland with threads of the same tone as the main knitting.

Everything that has been said is clearly presented in the pictures below.

You will get a very beautiful Christmas tree if you crochet it yourself. To do this, you will need to stock up on yarn and decorations with which you will decorate the Christmas tree; these can be beads, sequins, small balls, buttons, etc. About 70 grams of yarn will be enough, provided that your Christmas tree is no larger than 20 cm in size.

Let's start knitting. The first thing you will need to do is make a chain of air loops. Don’t forget that we knit the Christmas tree starting from the base and going up, which means that the lowest chain will also be the longest. We make a ring from the chain, like this:

Now we begin to knit in a circle with or without double crochets. If you choose the option without a crochet, your Christmas tree will stand more stable. With each circle we reduce the number of loops, we try to do it evenly, otherwise the tree will turn out to be crooked.

This is the kind of beautiful fluffy Christmas tree you should end up with. All that remains is to decorate it.

Skilled needlewomen can make anything, even crochet a New Year's beauty.

A crocheted Christmas tree can be a decoration for a New Year's tree, decor for a holiday table, or a cute souvenir for a friend. The options for making knitted Christmas trees proposed in this article are very easy to implement. These recipes will be useful for novice craftswomen, as well as those raising small children. After all, many children really like joint creativity.

How to crochet a Christmas tree: the easiest way

This method of crocheting a Christmas tree can be used even in cases where the craftswoman does not know how to crochet at all or has just begun learning.

In the first case, she can use any braid or ribbon at her discretion. In the second, you need to knit a long chain of air loops (VP). Before crocheting, you should think about the yarn and hook. It is better to choose a thread that is thin and dense, even tough. For example, cotton or linen. And the hook should be small (optimally 0.9-1.2).

The recipe for how to crochet a Christmas tree for beginners includes assembling the product. The tape should be laid out on a flat surface, forming all the bends, and each layer should be threaded. Between the layers you can place simple or tied beads or other appropriate decor.

Knitting a flat herringbone

The next most difficult way to crochet a Christmas tree is to make a flat triangular Christmas tree.

Almost any triangular motif pattern is suitable for this. It is better that it is moderately openwork, otherwise the silhouette of the Christmas tree will be difficult to guess in the finished knitted product. The photo below suggests several schemes that can be used for work.

To impart rigidity, finished products must be soaked in a solution of gelatin, sugar, starch or PVA glue.

Crocheted cone-shaped Christmas tree: master class

A Christmas tree based on a cone is the most versatile. It can be made in almost any color, decorated at your discretion and used literally everywhere.

Before crocheting a Christmas tree, you should think about its filling. It can be padding polyester, cotton wool or a cardboard cone. If you decided to go with the last option, then you need to prepare it in advance. You should be guided by the size of the finished cone during the work process. So, when you have all the necessary materials (yarn, hook, scissors, cone or stuffing, decor), you can start knitting a Christmas tree:

You should start by knitting the bottom. To do this, cast on 4 VPs, close them in a ring and knit 6 sc into it.
In each next row you need to increase the number of sc by 6. It is better to do the additions not on top of each other, but slightly obliquely, otherwise you will end up with a hexagon rather than a circle. When the width of the circle is equal to the size of the bottom of the tree (often about 7 rows are enough), it’s time to move on to knitting a cone-shaped base.
As a border between two parts, you need to knit a row of sc without adding, while knitting all the sc behind the back wall of the loops of the previous row.
Next, you should perform a uniform reduction of the fabric by 6 sc in every fifth row.
After knitting about half of the tree, you need to insert a cardboard cone inside. If padding polyester or cotton wool is chosen as filling, then they should be placed in the tree when it is 2/3 knitted.
The last third of the Christmas tree fabric should be reduced by 6 sc in each row.

So the base for decoration is ready. It is very important to get a pointed top of the tree. This is possible if, after all the RLS have been cut, you perform several VPs and only then hide the thread.

Ways to decorate a cone-shaped Christmas tree: colored stripes

The described algorithm for how to crochet a Christmas tree for beginners can be used to make an independent product or a basis for placing decor. The photo below suggests a method in which a cone-shaped Christmas tree is knitted with multi-colored threads and decorated with a minimum number of beads.

Knitting a Christmas tree with branches

The next way to crochet a Christmas tree is to tie stylized branches onto a cone-shaped base. To do this, you need to knit a picot from several VPs sequentially along each row. This is not difficult, because all the circular rows from which the tree is formed are spiral. They have a common beginning and end. It is better to start knitting a picot from the bottom, so you can clearly see what is happening and whether the “branches” need to be shortened closer to the top.

You will need to choose the size of the picot branches yourself, since their length and volume are greatly influenced by the characteristics of the yarn. The photo shows how you can transform a base Christmas tree using the picot tying method.

An interesting feature of this particular development is the manufacture of a trunk and a flat, stable base for the Christmas tree. It is better to place cardboard or thick paper rolled into a tube inside the barrel, and any disk of a suitable size will do for a flat base.

Another way to crochet a lush Christmas tree is by tying semicircular elements onto a conical base.
