Materials and Preparation
To get started, you’ll need:
- Yarn: Medium-weight yarn (Size 4) in two colors: green (for the tree) and a small amount of brown (for the trunk).
- Hook: A 4.0 mm (G) crochet hook.
- Additional Tools:
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)
- Small metal keyring
- Stitch marker (optional, for keeping your place)
- Optional Embellishments:
- Mini pom-poms or beads for decoration
- Star-shaped button or applique for the tree topper.
Yarn Weight Requirements: Use medium-weight yarn for a more structured tree. Adjust hook size for thicker/thinner yarn. A tighter tension will give a more compact tree.
