Instructions
Step 1
For potholders, it is best to use thick woolen threads. An original product will also be obtained if you use Grass yarn. Choose a crochet hook that matches your thread thickness. Depending on the desired size of the tree, type in an arbitrary number of air loops. Work 1-2 rows with single crochets. Next, start decreasing the loops, one after each row. This is the first tier of the tree.
Step 2
After about 7 loops remain, dial the same number to the right and left of them. The length of the resulting row should be less than the length of the first row by about 2-4 loops. Single crochet one row. Then again start decreasing the loops after each row. Leave 5 loops.
Step 3
Now repeat the set of air loops on both sides so that their number is less than in the first row of the previous tier. Proceed in the same way. The number of tiers will depend on the size of the item you want. At the end of the top tier, cast on a chain of 10 chain stitches. Close it in a ring. With the help of the resulting loop, you can hang the potholder on the hook. Find 5 center loops in the first row of the product. On them, knit 4 rows with single crochet. It turned out the trunk of the tree.
Step 4
Tie the finished potholder with a half-crochet or single crochet. Decorate as you wish. You can embroider a name or a wish on the item to whom you want to give the potholder.
