Crochet Christmas Tree – 12 Ornaments of Christmas

Christmas is right around the corner, and we haven’t yet tackled a holiday tree in the 12 ornaments of Christmas series! Let’s remedy that, shall we? Today’s super festive little tree is one of my most favorite of the ornaments in the series so far, and I think it’s because it’s so simple, but you can still tell right away that it’s supposed to be a Christmas tree. Decorated with scrap yarn and simple straight pins, this little crochet ornament comes together super quick!
