A Crochet Granny Square Christmas Tree
This project has been a long time in the making. My deepest thanks to my daughter, Stephanie, for contributing the yarn for this. Without her help and encouragement, this would never have been possible.
I made the tree square by square, with over a hundred individual squares. They were attached using an invisible join that I last used on a baby blanket back in 1993. I don’t do a lot with granny squares, simply because I hate weaving in those hundreds of ends. All that aside, this project turned out quite well. I even made a little star topper for it. It’s my favorite part.
A few notes on this: Make sure to put the lights up under the frame before you stitch on the squares. Otherwise, you’ll have to borrow a small child to get them up under there. Also, you should constantly check the fit to make sure you aren’t pulling the squares too tight and deforming them.
If you would like the instructions for this tree, hop on over to my shop. It includes notes on how I made the frame, diagrams for layout and attachment, and instructions for the star topper. You still have time to complete it before Christmas arrives.
Best always,
Trish

I wanted to purchase the granny square Christmas tree pattern, but when I clicked on the link a warning popped up saying your site was not secure. Is there another way to purchase this pattern without putting my information in jeopardy?
Sorry for the trouble. It must be one of those weird server certificate glitches. Here is the link to my Ravelry store: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/granny-square-christmas-tree-2
Last year I bought this pattern from you, finished half the tree then put it away to finish this fall. Now I can’t find the pattern! I could probably finish it by guess, but I really could use the whole pattern. Is there a way that you could check back to last year to see my purchase and resend it? Thanks bunches!
I checked back through my records and found that you purchased the pattern last month. I will send you another copy in PDF format to the email address you registered with on Ravelry. Does that help you out? Best always, Trish
Good morning I purchased the pattern of granny square Christmas tree pattern. When I printed it out I didn’t get the first pages
Hello, and thank you for your purchase. Please make sure to check your printer settings. It might be that the settings are making it start printing on page 3 or something. Also make sure you have COLOR selected instead of BLACK AND WHITE. This might make it skip the first page, which has a picture on it. If this doesn’t work, try downloading the pattern again from the link Ravelry sent you. And if you continue to have problems, please let me know and I will try to help further.
Hi there,
I purchased this fantastic pattern a few days ago on Ravelry.
Not being the brightest star in the horizon I have a question. 😁
You remove the fabric from the frame, right? The rest is very clear to me and I can’t wait to start on all the grannies.
Kind regards
Benny
Hi, Benny!
I personally left the fabric on because it added a little more support and because my lights seemed very glaring when I took it off. If you like the bright light shining through, I should think you could leave it on with no trouble at all.
Best always,
Trish
