The tree begins with a foundation chain, followed by rows of half double crochet stitches that shape its classic triangular form.
Simple increases and decreases create the layered effect, and a small trunk is added at the base to complete the silhouette.
Then tiny beads, sequins, or a star on top can be added for extra sparkle, allowing each tree to feel unique and festive.
Lightweight yet structured, this crochet tree works well as a standalone ornament, part of a miniature forest display, or strung together into a playful garland. At last the repetitive rows make the process relaxing and satisfying, with visible progress after each round.

Wavy Edges (Onditas): Each layer features a distinctive wavy border created by a specific stitch sequence, giving the tree a soft, decorative ruffle.
Amigurumi Style Cone: The main body of each layer is worked in increasing rounds of single crochet, forming a hollow cone shape.
