How to Make Chunky Yarn Christmas Trees (Easy Wrapped, Finger Knit & Loopy Styles)

If you’ve been wanting to decorate with chunky yarn this Christmas, you don’t have to learn just one technique! One of the things I love most about chunky yarn is how versatile it is. Whether you simply wrap it around a cone, finger knit an entire tree, or create a soft loopy texture, each method creates a beautiful tree with its own personality.

In this collection, I’m sharing several of my favorite chunky yarn Christmas trees—from the easiest beginner-friendly wrapped version to simple finger-knitted designs that look much more complicated than they really are. Some are displayed on wood slices, others on decorative wooden bun feet, and all of them make beautiful neutral holiday décor.

If you’ve never worked with chunky yarn before, don’t worry. I’ll walk you through each style so you can choose the one that fits your decorating style and your crafting experience.

Well, here I go again with Chunky Yarn ideas. Finger knit Christmas tree ideas. I love to experiment and stretch what I can do. As always this project wasn’t planned . Few days ago I spotted Chunky Yarn earthy looking Tree in one of the local Home decor stores that I didn’t buy. I knew it, it is a project that I will for sure try to make soon. Dollar Tree sparkly Christmas trees are perfect for that project so I decided to grab them and use them as my base. Didn’t even have to buy a chunky yarn because I had some left from my other projects that I hand knit. Are you ready for some Chunky yarn finger knit project ? Let’s make some Dollar Tree upcycle!

Have you spotted those trees at the Dollar Tree? They are coming in all Christmas colors. Perfect base for so many projects! I am not an expert but love to try things out. Love to master new skills and experiment so excuse my imperfections. So excited to see if my Chunky yarn Christmas tree will work out

---

Shall we begin?

To start we need to remove existing garland from tree base. It comes off super easy because it is only wrapped around.

---

---

When that is done it is time to finger knit our tree ! How exciting! We need to create a simple chain to begin. If you are not familiar on how to do it please check my video below. All basic skills needed for that project are explained there.

Finger knit Chunky Yarn Christmas Tree DIY

• create a chain long enough to wrap our base loosely to begin.

---

---

• connect ends to create a circle

---

---

• start to add rows but looping each stitch. Continue that for 2 rows

---

---

• third row – As the cone base is getting smaller you need to reduce amount of loops by connecting every third loop together as shown below

---

---

• close loops when you reach to the top of the tree base. That was explained in the video you just watched earlier

---

---

• finished top of the finger knit tree should look like that

As I was working on my finger knit Christmas tree my daughter made hers out of loopy yarn . Don’t you just love good Dollar Tree upcycle? Love to see her involved with me!

---

---

loopy yarn is available in every craft store and even on Amazon

---

---

and our mother-daughter project is done! Chunky yarn hand knit tree is beautiful in my eyes! Can not wait to style our space with those trees! For now I am just going to show how they look.
