Free Christmas Tree Afghan Square Pattern: This page includes a photo of the finished afghan square, plus a written pattern and instructions for crocheting it. Christmas Tree Chart #1: If you would prefer to work from a chart, you’ll find one on this page. Chart #1 looks a bit odd at first glance; it looks more like a triangle shape than a Christmas tree. But that’s because you’ll first crochet a triangle shape using tapestry crochet, and then you cross stitch the background on top of it, which creates the look of a Christmas tree. Christmas Tree Chart #2: This is the cross stitch chart. Checkerboard Chart #1 – gold, green and red version; see a photo of the finished square here. Checkerboard Chart #2: – gold, red and green version; it’s similar to square #1, except that the green and red color positions are exchanged. In my afghan design, I’ve alternated the two different colorways by row. A photo of the finished square is available by clicking here.

These squares are all designed to be the same size (assuming you crochet them using the same yarn, and you don’t accidentally use two different hooks to crochet them.) They can be used together to create quilt-style afghans in just about any size you like, from lapghans and baby afghans on up. The sample use uses blue and white baby yarns to make quilt squares especially appropriate for baby boys. You could choose more feminine colors if the recipient is expecting a baby girl; and if you are not sure of the baby’s gender, use neutral or green yarns, which could work for either. These designs need not be limited to use in baby afghans; so feel free to apply your creativity and use them in other ways. A CD-rom comes with the book, and the CD allows readers to design their own quilt-inspired afghans using the blocks, edgings and crochet stitches stitches featured in the book.
