I used to LOVE decorating sugar cookies every holiday when I was a kid, so naturally I wanted to recreate the magic with crochet. Are you looking for the fun of decorated sugar cookies that can last the entire Christmas holiday season? Try this free pattern for crocheting a Christmas Tree Sugar Cookie. I also have a free pattern for a Snowman Sugar Cookie.

Difficulty: Beginner+. The crochet concepts are easy, but requires some embroidery.

I recommend sewing the tree to the cookie first, and then sewing both sides of the cookie together. Don’t forget to lightly stuff with fiberfill before closing.
