They’re actually finger puppets, but they also work wonderfully as Christmas tree ornaments. Santa Claus, Rudolf the reindeer, and Frosty the snowman are definitely part of Christmas. And when the Christmas tree is put away, you can still play with them! You only need a few leftover yarn scraps and basic crochet skills. Each step is explained in detail.
Here is the pattern:

Crocheted in a flash and, thanks to the simple pattern and plenty of pictures, perfect for beginners too ♥
You can also crochet each ornament twice and sew the pieces together with a few stitches—and
just like that, you’ll have the most beautiful tree decorations and your box of leftover yarn will shrink :-)

Crochet pattern for a bell and bauble

These little bells are quick to crochet and use very little yarn. Since the bell is crocheted double for stability and then crocheted together, it’s of course ideal for any leftover yarn. 

Maybe one side red, the back green, and edged in white? Or lots of colorful little bells as a garland in the kids’ room on a window? That way, your yarn basket will very quickly have room for beautiful new yarn.........

These white, hardened snow crystals would look great on a Christmas tree. The white goes well with all the other colors of the Christmas tree or Christmas decorations. You can hang the snow crystals on the tree, use them as gift tags for Christmas presents, or use them for your festive table decorations.
You’ll need a small amount of leftover Catania Fine yarn (160 meters/50 g) and a 2.5 mm crochet hook. The pattern is also suitable for beginners—we’ll be crocheting chain stitches and single crochet stitches.

I have another tip for anyone who wants to quickly crochet something cute for the Christmas tree or as a Christmas decoration using just a little yarn. All you need is some red and white yarn and a small piece of wire. You can read and see how this candy cane is crocheted in my free pattern.

Hello, my name is Andrea and I would like to have the pattern for the crocheted Christmas trees. Unfortunately, I don't have any money left in my account. Would it be possible for you to please send it to me anyway? Unfortunately, I have no way to pay the pattern fee into the account because I am working this week. Is there also a possibility to maybe choose a few more and then receive an invoice and transfer the amount all at once? I would also take this, or rather I would prefer to receive it by post—would that be possible too?
Please reply
Thank you, Andrea Weinmeister

Hi Andrea, welcome to Crazypatterns. Unfortunately, we don’t send patterns by post or offer payment by invoice; we only have PDF downloads here, payable via PayPal, bank transfer, etc. If you have no way to top up your prepaid account this week, you’re of course welcome to browse the free patterns: https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/kostenlos
You don’t need a prepaid account to download them.
Have fun
