Tannenbaum Tassel Tree

Tannenbaum Tassel Tree Crochet Pattern by Midknits

Project Overview

The Tannenbaum Tassel Tree is a beginner-friendly crochet pattern for creating stuffed holiday tree decorations. Designed by Midknits, this downloadable PDF pattern offers crafters the opportunity to make festive, three-dimensional tree ornaments in two size options. The finished pieces feature a classic evergreen silhouette perfect for seasonal home décor or gift-giving.

What Is Being Made

This pattern produces a stuffed crochet holiday tree decoration with a tassel accent. Two size variations are available:

• Small version: 3 inches [7.5 cm] in diameter and 5.5 inches [14 cm] tall
• Large version: 6 inches [15 cm] in diameter and 11 inches [28 cm] tall

Both versions create dimensional, freestanding decorative pieces suitable for display on shelves, tables, or as hanging ornaments.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

This pattern is classified as Easy Crochet, making it ideal for beginners and those new to amigurumi-style projects. The construction involves fundamental crochet techniques including shaping through increases and decreases to form the tree's conical silhouette. The pattern uses standard US crochet terminology throughout, ensuring clarity for English-speaking crafters.

While specific stitch abbreviations are detailed within the pattern instructions, the project employs basic crochet stitches commonly used in stuffed toy construction. The tassel element adds a decorative finishing touch to the tree design.

Materials and Yarn Specifications

The Tannenbaum Tassel Tree pattern calls for Lily Sugar'n Cream The Original #4 Worsted Weight yarn, a 100% cotton fiber. This yarn choice provides structure and durability for the stuffed decoration.

Yarn requirements by size:

• Small tree: Color A Dark Pine (00016) — 1 ball or 42 yards [39 meters]; Color B Ecru (00004) — 1 ball or 21 yards [20 meters]
• Large tree: Color B Ecru (00004) — 2 balls or 192 yards [176 meters]

The two-color option in the small version creates visual contrast, while the large version uses a single color for a cohesive appearance.

Tools and Supplies

Crafters will need a US H/8 (5 mm) crochet hook or the appropriate size to achieve the pattern's specified gauge. Additional supplies include polyester fiberfill stuffing to create the three-dimensional, plush interior of the finished tree decoration.
