A crocheted Christmas tree will be a wonderful present for your friends or colleagues for the New Year or Christmas. She knits simply and quickly. Even beginners in crocheting can cope with such work, and the child can also knit it.
It is necessary
- - 50 g of green Iris yarn;
- - leftover yarn of different colors;
- - hook number 1, 5-2;
- - large and small beads;
- - satin ribbon;
- - glue.
Instructions
Step 1
Knit the Christmas tree in the form of a cone from top to bottom. To do this, it will be convenient to use a cone-shaped object as a template and tie it with double crochets. However, if you do not have such an item, just follow these instructions and you will succeed.
Step 2
Make a chain of five chain stitches. Close them in a circle with a connecting post.
Step 3
In the second row, knit 3 lifting chain stitches and crochet stitches in each stitch of the previous row without increments.
Step 4
In the third row, add 2 double crochets. From 4th to 9th in each row, add 4 columns. Knit the tenth row without increments.
Step 5
Next, add in every third row 3 times 4 columns, then 4 columns 2 times in every second row and 4 columns 3 times in each row. As a result, you should have about 80 columns. Work 7 more rows in a fancy pattern. They can be knitted from multi-colored yarn.
Step 6
To keep the tree from losing its shape, soak it in a gelatin solution. Soak one tablespoon of gelatin in cold water. When it swells, add water to make a glass of solution. Heat to dissolve the gelatin completely. Place the cone in the solution. Put on the mold and leave to dry completely.
Step 7
While the tree is drying, tie the Christmas tree decorations. Make a chain of three stitches and tie the small circles with single crochets.
Step 8
Glue knitted toys, beads and small satin ribbon bows on the tree. Spray glitter hairspray on the tree to make it sparkle.
Step 9
If you want the knitted Christmas tree to be “fluffy”, sew it around with green or white lace, or gather a satin ribbon and sew on a knitted cone.
