CROCHETED CHRISTMAS TREE

Send

By the New Year, there are not many Christmas trees, so small knitted Christmas trees can be prepared as an independent gift or enclose a box with a New Year's set. This indispensable New Year attribute will delight, and decorate, and will be remembered.

Another pleasant moment - materials for making a knitted Christmas tree at needlewomen are always at hand. Remains of yarn of all shades of green, white, blue, silver color will come in handy. It will come in handy yarn like "grass" or sectionally dyed, it will look beautiful melange from threads of several colors, thread with lurex will add the effect of flickering snow. If you use thick yarn or cord, then the product will turn out textured, embossed. In general, here come from the whole variety of stocks of your pantry master.
In addition, all kinds of shiny and bright little things come in handy. These are beads, buttons, satin ribbon, sequins, large beads, rhinestones, flat glass marbles and other catchy colored little things.
Christmas trees will be knitted, so you should stock up on a crochet of the appropriate size. All work is done by tight knit yarn. Knitting begins with a chain of 5 vp, which closes in a circle, and then we impose on it the first row of single crochet columns of 2 tbsp. on each loop of the lower row and further, evenly adding loops, we knit a flat circle of any diameter we need. This is the bottom of the Christmas tree.

The larger the bottom, the higher the Christmas tree will be. Then we stop adding loops and knit at least 2 rows with the same number of loops, raising the knitting top., Then we reduce 2-3 loops again we knit a row without reducing loops. In the same way we continue knitting, forming a knitted cone.

When there is a short distance to the crown of the cone, filler must be placed in the remaining hole. The filler can be a synthetic winterizer, holofiber, batting, thin non-woven fabric (as in our case), cellulose napkins, even capron from ladies' tights.

After the filler is placed inside, the top of the Christmas tree can be completed by reducing 3 loops in each row. It turns out here is such an elastic dense cone.
Depending on the initial thread of yarn, the cones of the Christmas trees look different. Some are rich green, others are covered with white snow, and others give a bluish tint as if in the morning twilight.

The case for decoration. We prepare small bows from ribbons.

Using hot melt adhesive, applying it in a small amount to the surface of the cone, we fasten beads, buttons, bows, marbles, i.e. everything that you have prepared for decoration.
