These are the 4th set of Christmas gifts I gave to my children. I saw this pattern yesterday, and I think it's pretty nice. Moreover it's simple and quick to make. There's also a video tutorial on this pattern. I make a green and white Christmas tree, as my son always likes the tree to be covered by snow. I also crocheted two stars to sew on the top of the trees, as my son also likes to have the star on top of the Christmas tree. My son already hung these Christmas trees on the garland. I am going to crochet two angels next.

These are quite cute and look simple enough to make. I don't think I could work with a hook as small as the one you had to use to make these though.

Yes, these are very simple to make. You can make with a large hook. It's just because I can buy the very thin yarn easier locally, so I have to use a smaller size of the hook. I wish we can buy yarns here as easy as in US.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I finally found a way to buy from China online. The yarns are cheaper. I have seen many beautiful yarns on LionBrand and some other websites online, those yarns are not too expensive, but I am sure the International postage will be very expensive if they send the yarns here.

@kaka135 I'm sorry you can not buy yarn as easy as we can here. Are there no groups either online or in your area that you can trade yarn with? That would be a solution for more yarn.

Your handicraft Xmas tree is brilliant. I think you can make trees in more colors also.

Thanks. I am quite addicted to crocheting lately, so I just keep crocheting small things for the children, good for me to practice as well.

They are adorable - I don't do any crocheting or knitting or anything. You could probably sell them!

Thanks. I just learned how to knit, crochet and also sew in these three years, because of my children. They are give me lots of motivation to learn something new.

I hope I will be able to sell my craft work one day, so I can bring some income to my family. But now I'd like to find time to make some to my friends' and neighbors' kids first.

These are very cute and a nice idea for the orphanage. It is good of you to visit these kids.

The making of ornamental trees seems to be very popular these days.

I think a few years later, they will want to learn how to make the little tree. They probably want to make something for you when they grow up.

They already made something for me, by sewing and finger knitting. Actually the plan or curriculum is to let the children learn knitting in grade 1 and crocheting in grade 3, of course it also depends if the children are already ready for it. This is actually why I started to learn knitting and crocheting.

Very pretty little trees and a keepsake for many Christmases to come I am sure.

Thanks. Yes, I am thinking I might just need to make some Christmas ornaments these two years, then we can use them for many years.

You are crocheting very nice little decorations for your children, they are lucky.

Thanks. As I do not want to spend money buying gifts or decorations, and I'd like to teach them to learn to DIY as much as possible, so I am making these to them. I am hoping they will be making their own when they are older.

They are cute. When my son was little we did the Christmas tree in all stuff that we made it looked very nice.

That's really good. Yes, I think the children will have fun decorating Christmas on their own.
