I was feeling inspired last weekend, so I sat down with some Christmasy colored yarn and got to work. The first thing I came up with was this little Tree Ornament! I really like it plain, but I also think it would be fun to decorate.
I'd love to see pictures if you make your own. You can share photos on my Facebook page, Ravelry group or use the tag #prochetpatterns on Instagram.
Enjoy!

Round 2-3: sc in each sc around.

This tree would be so fun to decorate! Here are a few things
I might try:
Pom-poms as ornaments
A long chain of sparkly yarn wrapped around as a garland
Sequins as ornaments
Small crochet star on top
It’s also cute as is and would make a great little gift
topper. I’d love to see how you personalize your little tree ornament!
