Spiral Tree
Foundation: Chain 30.
Round 1: Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, work 2 single crochets (sc) in each chain across.
Round 2: Chain 1, turn. Work 2 sc in each stitch across.
Round 3: Chain 1, turn. Continue increasing with 2 sc in each stitch until the strip naturally begins to curl.
Continue working rows with regular increases, gradually creating a long, widening spiral strip. The increased outer edge should curl naturally into a Christmas-tree shape.
Shaping the Tree
- Lay the crocheted spiral flat.
- Begin wrapping the narrow end around the center.
- Gradually position each wider section underneath the previous section.
- Allow the lower edge to flare outward, creating a tapered Christmas-tree silhouette.
- Secure the shape discreetly with a few stitches at the back.
Decoration
- Wrap a thin gold bead chain diagonally around the tree.
- Sew small red and gold beads around the crochet.
- Add white snowflake appliqués.
- Attach a gold star to the top.
- Add a pearl bead beneath the tree.
- Finish with a dangling gold snowflake charm.
Hanging Loop
At the top, attach a strong crochet cord or braided yarn loop. Match the cord color to the tree: green, red, or white.
Color Variations
- Classic: Emerald green + gold + red
- Elegant: White + gold + red

This creates a lightweight spiral crochet Christmas-tree ornament suitable for hanging on a Christmas tree, decorative branch, or metal holiday hanger.
