These crochet cone Christmas trees are a fun way to add handmade decor to your home for the holidays. The free pattern includes three sizes designed to fit over foam cones, making them perfect for a mantel, centerpiece, or festive tablescape.
Each tree is worked with simple single crochet stitches and can be customized with different colors and embellishments. I used three shades of green with a little glitter yarn, then decorated the small tree with white pins for a simple snowy look.
Make all three crochet Christmas trees for a coordinating display, or choose your favorite size and have fun making it your own!

Finishing
Use the white corsage pins as ornaments to decorate your tree, or have fun adding your own embellishments. Pom poms, beads, garland, or other lightweight decorations are easy ways to give each crochet Christmas tree its own look.
If using pins, keep the finished trees out of reach of young children and pets.

On the large tree did you use two colors? Like a green behind the fluffy white? I clicked the link but it’s not coming up because I’m sure it’s expired… do you have any yarn recommendations for a replacement? Thank you so much !!

What is an unjoined round?
Hi Margarita 🙂 An unjoined round is a round where you don’t end by slip stitching into the first stitch to join to round but instead work in a spiral.
I have the photo and the round numbers, but no pattern detais whatsoever!!!
Hmmm … I’m not sure why; the pattern is showing on my end.
