Crochet Decorated Christmas Tree {Michaels Dream Tree Challenge}

I am so thrilled to be participating again this year in Michael’s Dream Tree Challenge. This year my tree is decorated in love and generosity (and yarn. Lots and lots of yarn)!

I decided a tree decorated only in crocheted ornaments would be amazing. I knew I couldn’t do it alone, so I asked for help on facebook. I was overwhelmed by the response! Women that I have never met, never even chatted with online eagerly joined in.

Daily my mail was loaded with goodies, so many beautifully crocheted ornaments. I can’t describe the love that poured out of those boxes and envelopes. I have had more than one good cry over this tree. To be part of such awesome warmth and kindness leaves me speechless!

Beautiful Ornaments for Crochet Christmas Trees

Most of these ornaments are made from worsted weight yarn, hook size varies a bit and some also need a yarn needle to recreate.

The number of ornaments depend on the type of tree (some are more dense with branches than others), and the size of the tree.

If you’re going all-in on a crochet Christmas, you can make crochet trees too! These 15 free patterns include all kinds of cute little Christmas tree patterns from ornaments to a flat crochet Christmas tree to a full 3D mini christmas tree perfect for an end table!

Crochet Christmas Tree Skirt

The base of the tree is a beautiful and full of love as the rest of the tree with this rainbow Granny Square tree skirt. You can also make a tree skirt starting with a magic ring large enough for the tree trunk to fit in, with continuous rounds of single crochet stitches until it is as big as you want!

Crochet Christmas Tree Ornaments from Maureen Dowell

They all did an amazing job, I mean truly AMAZING! Such beautifully crafted ornaments, all made from yarn (and loads of love).

We are donating our tree to a local Festival of Trees that auctions off the trees for a local charity that supports individuals with disabilities to live on their own.

Thank you Michaels for sending me one of your fabulous trees and allowing me to participate in The Michaels Dream Tree Challenge.

Disclosure – I received a pre-lit Christmas tree and gift card to participate in the Michaels Dream Tree Challenge.

Too many crochet projects for this time of year? Keep it simple! Just like glass or metal ball ornaments, yarn pom poms of different sizes make beautiful Christmas decorations with the same rustic look. Try using glittery yarn to add some holiday sparkle!
