November is here and that means it is time to start the Mini Amigurumi Advent! The pattern for day 1 is a simple little Christmas tree with a cute, smiley face, and a star on top.

I thought a Christmas tree would be a fun way to start off the series, since for me setting up the Christmas tree has always kind of been the thing to start the season. Once we put the tree up it is officially Christmas time.

This tiny tree is made of three simple pieces, a cone shaped piece that makes the tree, a trunk, and then the little star to put on top. You can add a little face like I did here for a cutesy look, or you can add decorations with embroidery, or even buttons and beads. Or just leave it as is for a plain pine tree.
