Crochet Magic: How 25 Women Turned Yarn into a Heartwarming Holiday Tree

In a vibrant display of artistry and community spirit, 25 women from the Crochet Collective in Goa, India, came together to create a stunning Christmas tree entirely made from crocheted yarn. Inspired by a dream from organizer Sheena Pereira, the project began during Zoom calls and transformed into lively in-person gatherings, where family stories, music, and creativity blended seamlessly. They worked hard, crafting over 800 uniquely colored squares that now adorn this magnificent tree.

The project not only rekindles the love for this traditional craft but also stands as a sustainable alternative to plastic holiday decorations. Thanks to a local engineer who donated a metal frame, the once-simple idea quickly evolved into a beautiful centerpiece for the Museum of Goa. It’s amazing what a group of passionate individuals can achieve when united by a common goal—especially when it leads to something as heartwarming as this crocheted masterpiece!
