Can a flat circle wrap up into a snowy tree? Yes, it can! This wonderful video tutorial teaches you how to make a charming spiral Christmas tree ornament. Using bright green and white yarn, you create a swirled tree with pretty snowy edges. It looks like a miniature pine covered in winter snow! You can hang it on your tree, gift it, or use it for sweet holiday home decor.
Christmas Icy-Edged Tree Charms & Ornaments
The making process is super clever and easy to follow. You start by crocheting five flat rows of double crochet to make a green fan shape. Each row grows bigger with simple increases. Next, you add white yarn along the curved edge using little chains to look like snow. Finally, you roll the flat piece into a cone, sew the back seam halfway, and add a hanging loop on top.
Difficulty Level & Explanation
-
Level: Beginner / Easy
-
Why: The crochet portion uses only basic stitches—chains, double crochets, and slip stitches. The green piece is worked in simple flat back-and-forth rows that follow standard circle increase math. The only step that needs extra care is rolling the finished flat semicircle into an overlapping 3D cone so the white snowy trim spirals evenly, then hand-stitching the seam closed.

Special Technique: Snowy Ruffle Border (2 ch, 1 sl st in each st)
This delicate texture runs along the curved edge to look like freshly fallen snow:
-
Attach white yarn: Join the white yarn to the first stitch on the curved side of the green fan.
-
Make the mini ruffle: Chain 2 (2 ch).
-
Anchor it down: Insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over, and pull straight through both the stitch and the loop on your hook to make a slip stitch (1 sl st).
-
Repeat across: Chain 2, then slip stitch into the next stitch. Repeat this all the way across the curved edge. Every two chains create a tiny white scallop that curls slightly, giving the tree its snowy winter trim when rolled up.
