Here is a step-by-step tutorial to make the crochet spiral Christmas tree ornament shown in the picture. It’s simple and perfect for beginners!
🌲 CROCHET SPIRAL CHRISTMAS TREE – VERY DETAILED TUTORIAL
🧶 Materials
- Green yarn (main tree)
- White yarn (border)
- Brown yarn (trunk)
- Yellow yarn or felt (star)
- Crochet hook 2.0–3.0 mm
- Yarn needle & scissors
- Small bell
⭐ PART 1 — MAKE THE GREEN TREE SPIRAL
You will crochet one large, flat circle, then twist it into a spiral later.
You can follow this exact stitch pattern:
🍃 Round-by-Round Pattern
Round 1
- Make a magic ring
- 6 sc into the ring
(6 stitches)
Round 2
- inc in each stitch (2 sc in each stitch)
(12 stitches)
Round 3
- (1 sc, inc) repeat 6 times
(18 stitches)
Round 4
- (2 sc, inc) repeat 6 times
(24 stitches)
Round 5
- (3 sc, inc) repeat 6 times
(30 stitches)
Round 6
- (4 sc, inc) repeat 6 times
(36 stitches)
Round 7
- (5 sc, inc) repeat 6 times
(42 stitches)
Round 8
- (6 sc, inc) repeat 6 times
(48 stitches)
Round 9
- (7 sc, inc) repeat 6 times
(54 stitches)
👉 After this round, your circle should be about 9–10 cm wide.
Only 9 rounds are needed to get 3–4 spiral layers like the picture.
You may add Round 10 if you want a bigger tree.
⭐ PART 2 — ADD THE WHITE SPIRAL BORDER
This white border is what creates the “spiral tree” look.
Join white yarn
- Slip stitch to join white yarn anywhere on the edge.
Round (Border)
- 1 sc in each stitch around the circle
- DO NOT keep the circle flat — while crocheting the border, pull the fabric and twist it gently.
❗ Important tip:
To get the perfect spiral:
- Hold the circle at the center
- Twist clockwise
- Let the outer edge wrap natural into 3 or 4 spirals
⭐ PART 3 — SHAPE THE TREE
After adding the white border:
- Hold the center of the circle.
- Twist the circle hard enough until it forms a cone spiral.
- Adjust with your fingers:
- Top spiral: small
- Middle spiral: medium
- Bottom spiral: biggest
Tie the center with a piece of yarn so it stays firm.
⭐ PART 4 — ADD THE TREE TRUNK
Mini Trunk Pattern
With brown yarn:
- Chain 4
- Turn, make 3 sc back along chain
- Fasten off, leave a tail for sewing
Attach trunk
- Sew it under the lowest spiral.
- Make sure it points downward & is centered.
⭐ PART 5 — ADD A BELL
Sew a small bell directly under the trunk using brown yarn.
⭐ PART 6 — MAKE & ATTACH THE STAR
Crochet Star Pattern (very small)
Magic ring:
Repeat 5 times:
- ch 2
- 2 dc
- ch 2
- sl st into ring
Tighten ring → star shape.
Attach
- Sew the star on the top spiral.
- Add a jute string loop behind it for hanging.
🎉 You’re Done!
