Ruffle Tree Ornament

The Ruffle Tree Ornament adds a touch of elegance and whimsy to your holiday decor. Perfect for hanging on your Christmas tree or giving as a thoughtful handmade gift, this ornament adds a festive flair to the season!

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner

The pattern is written in U.S. crochet terms, complete with clear instructions and video tutorial to help you along the way. Ruffle Tree is crocheted in continuous spirals without joining the rounds. I suggest using a stitch marker or different color yarn to keep track of each round. Ruffle Tree is crocheted in worsted weight yarn and is approximately 3 inches tall.  Be aware that size may vary depending on the yarn and hook size used. Gauge is not particularly important, just be consistent with the tension you are using. And most importantly, have fun!

Ruffle Tree Ornament Pattern Example

6 sc into a Magic Circle  {6 sts}
R1 starts with 6 single crochet in a magic circle
Alternate way to begin:
chain 2, sc 6 times in 2nd chain from hook  {6 sts}

(inc, sc) 6 times {18 sts}
(2 single crochets into a stitch, then single crochet in the next stitch) – repeat that sequence a total of 6 times for a total of 18 stitches

You can make this pattern as a tabletop decoration by using 5 Bulky weight yarn, I used Bernat Velvet and an H hook. (I do not recommend any bulkier weight yarn for this pattern)

We will work a wiggle stitch over the hdc post stitches. The wiggle stitch consists of single crochet stitches. Your stitches will go from top to bottom back to top by rotating your work as you crochet. Please watch the video for instruction.
