Gingerbread Tree & Christmas Tree Ornaments is an original crochet pattern by June Gilbank.
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!
Yarn: Small quantity of worsted weight yarn in a gingerbread shade, or green (or white) and brown
Hook: US E / 3.5mm
Additional info: All the embellishment options pictured here are included in the pattern, but your 'blank canvas' gingerbread tree, ready to decorate however you wish, just as you would with an edible gingerbread cookie! You can leave your trees plain, keep your embellishments simple, or use your imagination to create all sorts of designs. Keep the embellishments in classic white, or match the colours to your seasonal décor.
To make the decorations pictured in the sample trees, you’ll also need:
- Embroidery floss (in white, or your choice of colours)
- B US/2.25mm crochet hook
- Tapestry needle
- 3mm seed beads
- Sewing needle and thread
Size: Approx 3.5" (9cm) tall. (Your gauge and yarn choice will affect the finished size slightly.)
