Christmas Tree Gift Tags Video Tutorial

For those who enjoy following along with a video tutorial, I’ve got you covered – you can find the full video right here.



Step-by-Step Instructions:


Starting the Tree:

Begin by putting a slip knot on your hook and chaining 15.

Row 1:

  • Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in the next five stitches, making a total of six single crochets.
  • Next, work a decrease stitch (single crochet two stitches together). Insert your hook into the first chain, pull up a loop, then into the second chain, pull up another loop, yarn over, and pull through all loops on the hook.
  • Finish this row with six more single crochets.

Row 2:

  • Chain one and turn. From now on, we’ll be working into the back loops only.
  • Single crochet in the next five stitches through the back loop, then decrease, and single crochet in the remaining six stitches.
  • Chain one and turn.

Row 3:

  • Single crochet five, decrease, and single crochet in the remaining five stitches.
  • Chain one and turn.


Continuing the Pattern:

  • Each row will reduce the number of stitches by 1, continue in the same manner until you get to row 11


Finishing the Tree:

  1. For Row 11, chain one, turn, single crochet in the first stitch, decrease, and single crochet in the last stitch.
  2. Chain one, turn, single crochet one, decrease, and chain one and turn.
  3. Finally, decrease in the last two stitches and fasten off.


Embellishing Your Gift Tags:

Now for the fun part – embellishments! Here’s how I did mine:

  • Twine: Use a darning needle to thread twine through the top of the tree and tie it to the gift tag.
  • Stamping: I stamped the back of my tags with rubber stamps, but you can also write on them if you prefer.
  • Buttons: I added tiny buttons with hot glue and a larger brown button for the trunk, tying it on with twine.
  • Stars and Owls: I also used a cute little star and an owl button for extra charm.

Hello everyone, it's time for part 2 of our mini Mother's Day pattern series and this week we have the mitts to match the boot cuffs we made in part 1.  It's another granny square design (you know how I love granny squares) and they are quick and easy to make.

For my blanket I chose 10 colours to represent the warmer days... ...and 10 colours to represent the cooler days. It is so...
