Crochet Stitches

To make this crochet Christmas garland, you need to know how to make a magic ring, chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet, and slip stitch.

Yarn and Hook Information

For this pattern, we used #3 light yarn (DK, light worsted, 8-ply) with approximately 12 wraps per inch (WPI) in three different colors, along with a tinsel yarn to give the crochet Christmas trees a more festive look. We also used the recommended hook size.

Customizing Your Christmas Garland

Create your crochet Christmas tree garland in a color or colors that match your holiday theme.

For slightly larger trees, consider using a thicker yarn, such as #4 worsted weight yarn, and the recommended hook size.

How To Make A Crochet Christmas Tree Garland

This Christmas tree garland is easy to make. Simply crochet your desired number of Christmas trees and attach them to a crochet chain or decorative string.

You can customize the length of the garland by making more or fewer crochet trees and extending the chain string accordingly.
