I just realised that this is my 18th year of designing seasonal crochet patterns, and I haven’t quite run out of new ideas yet! My 2025 Christmas pattern is a two-in-one: you can use it to make iced (or plain) Gingerbread cookies, or sturdy flat Christmas Tree ornaments:
Chunky and flat, just like the edible cookie version, the Gingerbread Tree ornament is a perfect blank canvas for decorating with beads, embroidery, or whatever crafty ‘icing’ you like. Or make the Christmas Tree version in green or white with a brown trunk.
Both versions are crocheted amigurumi-style (in a continuous spiral) from only 10 yds of yarn with no sewing, so the pattern works up quickly with minimal finishing!
Then you have the fun of decorating your trees to match your style – you can leave them plain, copy my suggestions, or use your imagination to create all sorts of designs. Keep your embellishments in classic white, or match the colours to your seasonal décor – there are so many possibilities for these trees!
And my Gingerbread Family are happy to welcome the new trees into the gingerbread pattern collection!
As I like to reward people who chose to donate for my donationware patterns, the PDF version of the Gingerbread Tree & Christmas Tree Ornaments pattern includes a 2-page guide to all the embroidery and embellishments I used on my sample trees, additional info, and an appendix of left-handed photos. As always, the pattern is free for you to use, and you need only donate if you’d like to thank me for my time in creating it, or if you’d like the easy-to-print PDF version.
