Walking in a winter wonderland……..

Here’s a quick free crochet pattern for the holiday season. It’s perfect for a table-scape, centerpiece or put a hanger on it and you have a cute tree ornament too!  It is about 6″ tall and while I made both of these in glittery worsted yarn, they would look great in many other yarns too for a fun forest mix.

Materials:

• Worsted Weight yarn, I used Red Heart Super Saver
• Stuffing for tree base
• Hook: US H/5.00 mm

Abbreviations:

• ch – chain
• dc – double crochet
• hdc – half double crochet
• sc – single crochet
• sl st – slip stitch
• st(s) – stitch(es)

 

 

 

 

 

Join rounds with sl st to beg st. Ch1 or Ch2 at beginning of round does not count as a stitch, unless noted.

Base Cone:

Round 1: Start with Magic Circle, work 8hdc in center, join, pull tail tightly to close the loop.

Round 2: Ch1, hdc in each st to end, join. (8 hdc)
