Christmas Tree Star Doll Crochet Pattern

A little Christmas tree in a star costume, with jingle bells sewn into the branches.

The Christmas Tree Star Doll is the kind of amigurumi people pick up and turn over in their hands. The body is a tiered tree worked in front-loop ruffles, the head sits inside a padded five-point star, tiny gold bells hang off the branches, and the whole thing stands on two striped legs in little pointed boots.

Why You'll Love This Pattern:

• Photo-tutorial throughout — 26 numbered step photographs covering the trickiest parts: joining the legs into the body, the front-loop ruffle rounds, and building the star from a chain ring.
• That ruffle technique, explained properly — the tree tiers are worked into the front loops of earlier rounds, and every round tells you exactly which loops and which round to go back to.
• A star that actually holds its shape — two flat star pieces crocheted together with a contrast edge, so it frames the face instead of flopping.
• Every round has its stitch count in the right-hand column.
• Three colourways shown — deep green, soft mint and a red-and-white candy cane version.
• Metallic thread detailing — a round of slip stitch in gold running through the branches, with bell placement shown.

Skill level

Confident intermediate. The stitches themselves are standard — sc, hdc, dc, tr, bobble, front and back loops, front and back post — but there is a lot of loop-tracking, and the tree relies on going back into earlier rounds. Not a first amigurumi, but very achievable if you have made a few.
