Pattern created by Gayle

 Christmas tree crochet

Size: approximately 3 1/2 inches (varies depending on yarn used)

Materials:

• I used Red Heart Super Saver Green for one tree.  I used Lily Sugar ‘n Cream Dark Pine for another tree.
• Size G Hook

Gauge: Not important

Abbreviations: sc = single crochet, ch = chain, st = stitch, sl st = slip stitch, dc = double crochet

1. Ch 22
2. *dc in 3rd ch from hook, ch 4, sl st in first chain of the ch 4 you just did*  Repeat this step 3 more times in the same “3rd ch from hook” stitch.
3. Repeat step 2 in each of the remaining chains of the original ch 22.
4. At the end of the last dc in the last ch don’t do the ch 4 or sl st.  Just finish off after the last dc.   Weave in yarn ends.

This detail photo shows the original ch 22, the first dc and the ch 4

As you work you will be creating a spiral.  The spiral becomes a Christmas Tree!
