#3. Alberelli Christmas Decoration Free Crochet Pattern

You can make this Christmas decoration in few hours, and it’s soft and smiling.
If for you decorating the tree with trees seems too weird, you can make a hanging decoration (for indoors or outdoors) by adding just twig and a piece of cord.

Without the hook, it become a Christmas gift tag or a placeholder, and there are endless ways to customize them. You can add sequins, beads, buttons or small embroidery.
