Nørklerne – a group of volunteers doing handicrafts to support the cause – have knitted and crocheted their very own take on a beautiful home-knitted Christmas tree in yarn. The Christmas tree consists of several sections that can be stacked to form a Christmas tree. The tree comes with a multitude of home-made products made by volunteers all over the country. There are 5,000 volunteers nationwide who knit, crochet and sew various handicrafts for vulnerable target groups in local care homes, hospitals, institutions and the like, or for sale in Red Cross shops. The Christmas tree is a tribute to the many volunteer “Nørklere” in Denmark.

“We’ve thrown ourselves into crocheting and knitting the Christmas tree, decorations and gifts together with around 20 other volunteers from Sønderborg. However, it took a little longer than we expected. Under the tree, there are pot holders, dish cloths, sweaters, a large blanket and a host of other goodies.” – Volunteers Yrsa and Nina
