Create a cosy handmade look in wax with the Scalloped Knit Christmas Tree Silicone Candle Mold. Inspired by knitted winter decorations, this distinctive tree features three broad scalloped tiers covered in vertical ribbed yarn texture, finished with a rounded pom-pom topper and textured knitted base.
The soft cascading shape gives the finished candle a different silhouette from traditional pine trees and more intricate cable-knit Christmas tree molds. Its clear yarn-inspired detailing makes it especially suited to cosy winter décor, handmade Christmas gifts and modern seasonal candle collections.

Create Cosy Knitted Christmas Tree Candles
The broad scalloped layers and pronounced ribbed texture give this candle the appearance of a soft knitted Christmas decoration. Cream, ivory and beige wax highlight the yarn-inspired details beautifully, while traditional green or red creates a more classic festive look.
For contemporary Christmas collections, try blush, sage, lilac or other pastel wax colours. The deep vertical ribbing and rounded branch edges naturally create highlights and shadows, allowing the texture to remain visible even when the candle is poured in a single colour.
The finished candle works beautifully in Christmas centrepieces, mantel displays, handmade gift boxes and winter product collections. Wick size, fragrance load, pouring temperature and cooling time depend on your wax formulation and finished candle dimensions. Follow your wax, wick and fragrance manufacturers' recommendations and complete a proper burn test before using or selling finished candles.
Basic Use Guidance
- Position and secure an appropriate wick through the centre of the mold.
- Keep the mold upright and properly supported on a stable, level surface.
- Prepare your wax according to the wax manufacturer's instructions.
- Pour gradually so the wax can reach the knitted grooves and scalloped branch edges.
- Allow the candle to cool and harden completely before attempting removal.
- Flex the silicone gently and peel it away gradually around each layered tier.
Care and Storage
Allow the mold to cool before cleaning it gently with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid knives, needles, abrasive brushes and other sharp objects inside the cavity, as these may damage the raised knitted texture. Dry thoroughly and store the mold in its natural shape away from direct sunlight and strong heat.
With its rounded knitted layers and playful pom-pom topper, this design offers a cosy alternative to traditional Christmas tree candles while remaining instantly recognisable as a festive tree.
