This year, our crochet “Christmas tree buddy” amigurumi series will be MORE FUN than ever. That’s because I will include more funny and crazy crochet Christmas tree amigurumi ideas, along with the traditional decorative ones. Today’s crochet amigurumi craziest leggy Christmas tree buddy is one of these quirky crochet Christmas gifts that you can learn to crochet with a FREE tutorial and a written pattern as well. Choose from the crochet green tree with the red mittens and green boots, or a white tree with blue boots and pink mittens.

Both of these crochet Christmas tree amigurumi are on my favorite list. The different-sized googly eyes with misplaced black pupils and the chain-stitch legs make these Christmas tree bud amigurumi especially funny.

You will also like teh colorful addition of pom poms as the Christmas tree lighting and a NEW crochet star appliqué on the top. These funny crochet Christmas trees look equally cute, both hanging and placed, supported by the wall, as buddies. Be sure to crochet both of these funny Christmas tree variations. I would still recommend using just the white for the eyes. Anyway, continue reading to learn more about this super cute crochet amigurumi tree project!
