Crochet X'mas Tree (Go Green)
Material:-
- Worsted-weight yarn, White colour
- F/5 3.75mm crochet hook
- Poly-Fil or any stuffing of your choice
- Yarn needle
- Colourful buttons ( 20 pcs )
Abbreviation Key:-
- sc = single crochet
- tr = triple crochet
- ch = chain
- sl st = slip stitch
- dec = decrease (join next 2 sts into 1)
- inc = increase (2 sc in next st)
- BLO = back loop only
- FLO = front loop only
Notes:-
- Crochet in a spiral. Use something to mark the first stitch of a round, and move it up as you work.
- “The Magic Circle” is use to start each piece. Alternative technique: ch 2, then sc x6 into the second chain away from the hook. Slip stitch to join the round. This creates Round 1.
