Create your own cozy handmade forest for the holidays with my Knit Tabletop Christmas Trees Collection, a festive knitting pattern available in five sizes. Each tree is knit in the round from the top down, forming a smooth cone shape that’s simple, sculptural, and endlessly customizable.
The pattern includes instructions for all five sizes, from a petite 4.5” tree to a tall 12” centerpiece. You’ll also find decorating ideas, including knitted I-cord garlands, braids, and bead embellishments for a personalized holiday look.

About the Design
From my studio on the coast of Half Moon Bay, I designed these trees to bring warmth and handmade charm to the season. They capture the cozy feeling of quiet winter days and the joy of creating something by hand. Whether you keep them simple or decorate with yarn garlands and beads, each tree becomes a personal reflection of your holiday style.
