The Crochet Tree Pattern

Tree Body:

You'll start the tree from the top (tip), working in continuous rounds without joining at the end of each round. Use a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of each new round for accuracy.

1.Round 1: Create a magic ring (MR). Work 6 SC into the magic ring. Pull the tail to close the ring tightly. (6 stitches)

2.Round 2: Work [1 SC, 1 inc]—repeat this sequence 3 times. (9 stitches)

3.Round 3: Crochet 1 SC in every stitch around. (9 stitches)

4.Round 4: Work [2 SC, 1 inc]—repeat this sequence 3 times. (12 stitches)

5.Round 5: Crochet 1 SC in every stitch around. (12 stitches)

6.Round 6: Work [3 SC, 1 inc]—repeat this sequence 3 times. (15 stitches)

7.Round 7: Crochet 1 SC in every stitch around. (15 stitches)

8.Round 8: Work [4 SC, 1 inc]—repeat this sequence 3 times. (18 stitches)

9.Round 9: Crochet 1 SC in every stitch around. (18 stitches)

10.Round 10: Work [5 SC, 1 inc]—repeat this sequence 3 times. (21 stitches)

Note: To adjust the size of the tree, continue this same sequence pattern:

• One round of increases (increase the SC count between each "inc").
• One round of plain SCs.
• Save

For example:

• Next round will be [6 SC, 1 inc], followed by a round of SCs.
• Then, [7 SC, 1 inc], followed by a round of SCs.

Repeat this sequence until you reach your desired height and a full tree shape. Keep in mind that the more increases and rounds you add, the wider and taller your tree will become.

Finish the Tree Body:
Once you are satisfied with the size of your tree:

1. Work one slip stitch into the next stitch to even out the edge.
2. Fasten off the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing the base later.

Creating the Tree Base

The base will be a flat circle that ensures the tree stands upright when placed on a flat surface.

1. Create a magic ring (MR) and work 6 SC into it. Pull the tail to close the ring tightly. (6 stitches)
2. Round 1: Work [1 inc in every stitch] around. (12 stitches)
3. Round 2: Work [1 SC, 1 inc]—repeat around. (18 stitches)
4. Round 3: Work [2 SC, 1 inc]—repeat around. (24 stitches)
5. Round 4: Work [3 SC, 1 inc]—repeat around. (30 stitches)
6. Round 5: Work [4 SC, 1 inc]—repeat around. (36 stitches)

Tip: Continue increasing the circle size if you’ve made the tree larger. Once the circle base matches the width of your tree’s bottom, stop increasing.

Fasten Off the Base:

1. After finishing the last round, make 1 slip stitch into the next stitch to even out the edge.
2. Save
3. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing the base to the tree.

Assembly

1.Step 1: Stuff the Tree

1. Using your stuffing material (cotton or pillow filler), begin to fill the tree from the top down.
2. Make sure to pack the stuffing gently into the tip of the tree to give it a defined cone shape.
3. Continue stuffing evenly down the body. Firmly pack the base with more stuffing to ensure the tree stands upright.

2.Step 2: Sew the Base to the Tree

1. Place the flat circle (base) on the open bottom of the tree.
2. Thread the long tail of the tree’s yarn onto your yarn needle.
3. Use a whip stitch to carefully sew the base onto the bottom of the tree.
4. Ensure there are no visible gaps between the base and the tree as you sew.

3.Step 3: Shape the Tree

Once the base is sewn on, use your hands to adjust the stuffing and shape the tree so it sits evenly.
