Materials Needed

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Using the brown yarn, create a magic ring. This will be the foundation of your ornament.
2. Round 1: Inside the magic ring, crochet 6 single crochets (sc). Pull the ring tight to close it.
3. Round 2: Crochet 2 sc in each sc around. You should have a total of 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: *Crochet 1 sc in the next stitch, then 2 sc in the following stitch.* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 18 stitches at the end of this round.
5. Round 4: *Crochet 1 sc in the next 2 stitches, then 2 sc in the following stitch.* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 24 stitches at the end of this round.
6. Round 5: *Crochet 1 sc in the next 3 stitches, then 2 sc in the following stitch.* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 30 stitches at the end of this round.
7. Rounds 6-8: For these rounds, simply crochet 1 sc in each stitch around. This will help build the body of the pinecone.
8. Round 9: *Crochet 1 sc in the next 3 stitches, then crochet 2 stitches together (sc2tog).* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 24 stitches at the end of this round.
9. Round 10: *Crochet 1 sc in the next 2 stitches, then crochet 2 stitches together (sc2tog).* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 18 stitches at the end of this round.
10. Round 11: *Crochet 1 sc in the next stitch, then crochet 2 stitches together (sc2tog).* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
11. Stuff the Ornament: Lightly stuff the ornament with fiberfill to give it a plush and cozy feel.
12. Round 12: Crochet 2 stitches together (sc2tog) around until you have 6 stitches left. This will close the top of your ornament.
13. Finish Off: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last stitch to secure it. Weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.
14. Create a Hanging Loop: Attach the white yarn to the top of the pinecone. Crochet a small loop (about 5-6 chains) for hanging.
15. Add Snow Accents: Using the white yarn, lightly dust the tips of each scale on the pinecone to mimic freshly fallen snow. This adds a beautiful finishing touch to your ornament.
