Today I’m sharing a super quick and simple free crochet Christmas ornament pattern that is so fun to make. This crochet ornament is such a quick project that you can make one in about 10 minutes and it’s beginner-friendly because it uses basic crochet stitches.
In this blog post, you’ll find the free written pattern as well as a step-by-step video tutorial to walk you through the pattern from beginning to end.
The Snowy Pines Christmas Tree Ornament uses such a small amount of Fairy Table Fur yarn that it’s perfect for yarn scraps. We use the Fairy Tale Fur to create a snowy cap for a pinecone (mine are sparkly for an added personal touch) to recreate the look of pinecones just after a fresh snowfall. They just get me into the holiday spirit and they are so much fun to make.

First Time Using Fur Yarn?
Check out my tips and tricks for using faux fur yarns in the video below so you can hit the ground running. If you’re looking to give faux fur yarns a try, I recommend using Fairy Tale Fur/ Fable Fur from WeCrochet (super bulky 6 yarn weight). It’s my favourite faux fur yarn as it has a thick strap on the back of the yarn which helps you feel the stitches, even if you can’t see them.
If this is your first time using faux fur yarn, I’m going to let you in on a little secret: the fur hides EVERYTHING. So don’t be nervous about whether you’re not able to see your stitches or if your seaming techniques are less than perfect. No one will be able to tell. Be sure to check out the part about doing the magic circle in this video. It’s a lifesaver!

Can I Use Another Yarn For This Crochet Project?
I recommend that you use the fur yarn for this project so that it looks as intended. However, if you had an acrylic yarn or a bulkier yarn that was a bit fuzzy or a yarn that you were able to felt/brush to make it look fluffy, you could give it a try to see if you like the look of it.

- 5.5 mm Furls Crochet Hook
- 8 yards/7.5 m (11 g/0.39 oz) of We Crochet Fable Fur in Eisbar

Finished Size:

Gauge:
- 12 sts x 5 rows = 2 inches
NOTES:
- Gauge is not vital to the project but it may affect the amount of yarn needed for the project.
- A 5.5mm crochet hook size is recommended for the project but if you find you are unable to feel your stitches, you can adjust your hook until you can more easily feel your stitches to more easily know where to place your stitches. This may however affect your gauge and therefore, the amount of yarn needed.
- This pattern is worked in continuous rounds (unless stated otherwise). Do not join at the end of the row, unless indicated. A stitch marker is used to keep track of the beginning of the round.
- Place the piece on your pinecone with the wrong side facing out to show the better-looking/furrier side of the fur.

Pattern
Round 1: Make a MC and SC 6 into the MC. (6)
Round 2: (SCINC) x 6. (12)
Round 3: (SC, SCINC) x 6. (18)
Round 4: SC, SCINC, (SC 2, SCINC) x 5, SC. (24)
Round 5: *SC, CH 3, * repeat 23 more times. Join last ST to the first ST with a SL ST. (24 SC, 23 CH 3’s)
FO and weave in ends.
Round 5 of the piece should over-hang the edge of the pinecone slightly.
If you find that your piece is too big or too small for your pinecone, add or remove increase rounds until the piece just covers the bottom of the pinecone and then add Round 5 to your piece before finishing off.
Creating the Hanger
Thread the ribbon or piece of yarn onto a tapestry needle. Insert tapestry needle through one of the stitches near the top/center point of the piece and out through the stitch directly opposite the stitch you went into.
Tie the ends together in an overhand knot and slide the knot inside to the bottom of the piece.

Can you elaborate on row five. No matter what I do I can’t come up with your stitch count. The way I read it. It’s 2 single crochets for every chain three, I end up with 24 single crochets and 12 chain threes. I don’t see any skips in the pattern. Is there supposed to be?
Thanks so much for pointing that out, and I apologize for the confusion! There were two typos in the pattern—there aren’t supposed to be any skips, and the stitch count should be 24, not 12. I’ve updated the pattern to correct those errors, and if it helps, the video tutorial also walks you through how to do this round step-by-step. I really appreciate your patience, and I hope this clears things up! Let me know if you have any other questions—I’m happy to help!
