Partridge in a Pear Tree Table Decoration Knitting Pattern

Description

Celebrate Christmastide with this unique Christmas knitting pattern inspired by the famous carol The Twelve Days of Christmas. Featuring the obligatory partridge in a pear tree, this festive decoration brings the first gift of Christmas to life in a wonderfully creative way.

The tree is cleverly constructed from a wooden kitchen paper holder and a rounded polystyrene ring, forming a strong, self‑standing base that is then covered in knitting. Golden pears hang like Christmas baubles, while the plump partridge sits proudly in the branches, instantly recognisable from the much‑loved carol.

This Christmas table decoration is knitted flat with seams using Stylecraft Special DK yarn. Although it stands tall at just over 50cm, much of the height is achieved on fewer than 20 stitches, making it less complex than it first appears.

The finished pear tree and partridge decoration makes a striking centrepiece; impactful in scale, delightfully Christmassy and a perfect nod to the traditional Twelve Days of Christmas.

Create a striking centrepiece with this Christmas knitting pattern for your true love.
