Granny Square Tree Ornament - Free Pattern

Hello!

Welcome to my crochet blog!

This week, I am sharing with you a pattern for an easy crochet ornament! The granny square tree ornament has had many different versions that have been created by many other pattern designers, so I can’t take credit for coming up with all of this on my own. For my version, I decided to crochet a little star on top.

Let’s get started!
