Crochet Christmas tree blanket pattern

ByMelissa Hassler

Looking for a festive Christmas crochet project that still feels simple and modern? This crochet Christmas tree blanket features rows of classic evergreen trees along both ends with a clean, solid center. It makes a cozy handmade baby blanket and a beautiful addition to holiday nursery décor.

Quick answer

This advanced beginner crochet Christmas tree baby blanket is worked back and forth in rows of double crochet using worsted weight (#4) yarn and an I-9 (5.5 mm) crochet hook. Color changes create the Christmas tree designs at both ends, and the finished blanket measures approximately 36 inches wide by 40 inches long.

Why you’ll love this Christmas tree blanket

  • Great colorwork practice: The tree sections let you practice clean color changes while the large solid center keeps the rest of the blanket simple.
  • Easy to personalize: Keep the traditional green trees and choose a background color that works with your Christmas décor or nursery.

Pattern notes

  • This blanket is worked back and forth in rows of double crochet stitches.
  • Carry the unused yarn behind your stitches when changing colors, or cut and rejoin the yarn as preferred.
  • Keep your color changes neat by changing colors on the final yarn over of the stitch before the new color begins.
  • Chain 3 at the beginning of each row. This does not count as a stitch.
  • Check your stitch count at the end of each row to keep the blanket edges straight.
  • Having trouble keeping the sides even? My how to crochet straight edges guide explains how to avoid missed stitches, extra stitches, and turning-chain mistakes.
  • The arrows show the direction each row is read. Read rows marked ← from right to left and rows marked → from left to right.

The blanket is worked entirely with double crochet stitches. My how to double crochet tutorial is helpful if you need a quick refresher.

The number after each color tells you how many double crochet stitches to make with that yarn. For example, green x 7 means to work 7 double crochet stitches with green yarn.

If you are new to working with multiple yarn colors, my How to Change Colors in Crochet guide will help you make cleaner color changes throughout the blanket.
