Create a festive centerpiece with this Christmas tree crochet pattern. This amigurumi tree is decorated with sweet peppermint candies and French knots for a bit of sparkle. It’s perfect for adding some whimsical charm to your Christmas decor or giving as a gift.

This is an intermediate level pattern that requires knowledge of back loop/front loop crochet and colour changing. The tree and pot are crocheted in one piece from the bottom up and the peppermints are glued on to keep sewing to a minimum. I’ve included a guide on how to make French knots and suggestions on what you can use instead.

The PDF includes detailed instructions and photos as well as easy print pages for more advanced crocheters or for a printed hard copy.
