Pattern Instructions :
Step 1: Crocheting of Tree Base
Magic Circle - for the base of the Christmas tree: Take your
yarn and make a loop, then pull through to make a tight circle.
Round 1: Ch 1, make 6 SCs into the circle. Pull the yarn end to
tighten. S lst to the first stitch to join the round.
Why It Matters: Magic circle gives a nice, compact base
which is great for small ornaments.
Step 2: Building Triangular Form
Round 2: Ch 1, 2 SC in each st around (12 sts total). Sl st to
join.
Round 3: Ch 1, then (SC in the next st, 2 SC in the
following st) around (total 18 stitches).
Pro Tip: This round-by-round increase gives the classic
Christmas tree shape to your ornament, thus making it look full.
Step 3: Creating the Tree Texture
Round 4: Chain 1. (SC in the next 2 stitches, 2 SC in the
following stitch) around (total 24 stitches). Slip stitch to join.
Round 5 - Repeat the pattern; add 6 stitches around in this and
all even increase rounds.
Continue until the tree reaches your desired size.
Helpful Hint: You can stop at any round for a smaller
ornament or add additional rounds to a full tree.
Step 4: Add the Main Trunk
Starting with brown yarn, attach yarn onto the last stitch. Make SCs in a Row: chain 1, SC across the bottom row of the tree to make a small trunk that adds to the charm of the tree.
Creative Hint: Take a stick and, if necessary, wrap some
yarn on it, for an even more realistic look.
Step 5: Adorning the tree
Make your tree extra festive with small decorations. You can make various coloured yarns and crochet tiny "ornaments" and then string them up with some beads for a bit of sparkle. If you want something more classically holiday, you could attach a small red bow or crochet a star for the top.
