Crochet Christmas Tree Hair Clip Pattern: US Terms (PDF Download)

Crochet a tiny, sparkly Christmas tree hair clip that works on 4 cm snap clips (with simple counts to size up to 5 cm). Written in clear U.S. terms with full stitch names, this beginner–intermediate pattern is quick to make and perfect for stocking stuffers, party favors, and holiday photo props. You’ll work the tree top-down, add a centered trunk, then surface-stitch a metallic “garland,” and mount to felt + a snap clip for a neat, durable finish.

You’ll make

1 crochet tree clip topper (≈4 cm tall; option to adjust to 5 cm)

Felt-backed mount for a 4 cm oval/triangular snap clip

Optional metallic “garland” loops and mini “bauble” accents

What’s inside

Step-by-step written instructions: tree triangle → trunk → metallic garland → felt backing + clip assembly

Size-up notes for 5 cm clips (extra rows + wider trunk placement)

Finishing tips for clean edges, secure stitching, and tidy glue use

Skill level
Beginner–Intermediate (magic ring, chain, single crochet, double crochet, slip stitch, joining new color, simple surface embroidery)

Materials

Light DK cotton/acrylic yarn: green (tree), light brown (trunk)

Metallic cord/thread for garland (or slim lurex thread)

Hook: 1.60 mm steel (or any size that yields a firm, small motif)

4 cm snap hair clip (oval or triangular); felt backing piece

Sewing needle + strong thread; tapestry needle; scissors; hot glue gun (optional)

Sizing at a glance

Tree height ≈ 4 cm (base row = 14 sc); fits 4 cm snap clips

To size for 5 cm clips: add Row 11–12 (to 16 sc across) + widen trunk to 8 dc

Aim for compact, even stitches so the outline neatly covers the felt/clip
