Christmas Tree Crochet Pattern
This Christmas tree pattern is perfect for beginners and works up quickly. I made the entire project in about 2 hours. The best part of this pattern is that is is completely customizable. Just like your tree at home, you can decorate it to fit your style and personality. I let my children pick the colors of my ornaments, but you can use any color you like.
