Border of Crochet Tree:

To start: With yarn still attached to the last stitch on top of the crochet tree chain 1, work along the left side of the tree down and make 10 single crochets evenly.

Corner: You have now reached the corner where you will make3 single crochets in the same stitch.

Bottom of the Tree: Make 8 single crochets along the bottom part of the tree until you reach the next corner.

Corner: You have now reached the right-hand corner, where you will make 3 single crochets in the same stitch.

Up the Right Side: Make 10 single crochets up the right side evenly.

Finishing: Slip stitch to the top of the first single crochet of the border, fasten off yarn.

Gift Card Holder:

To start: With Green Chain 8

Row 1: Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, single crochet, single crochet in every stitch across, turn. (7)

Row 2: Ch 1, starting in first the stitch, single crochet, single crochet in every stitch across, turn. (7)

Row 3 – 6: Repeat Row 2. (7)

Finishing: Fasten off the yarn, leaving a 12-15 inch piece for attaching the holder to the tree. Attach the holder by using a yarn needle, the 15″ tail of yarn and weaving in and out along the edges to secure. I placed mine along the center bottom of the tree.

Crochet Star:

To start: With the Mustard Vanna’s Choice yarn make a small crochet star. I used a tutorial for a Mini Crochet Star from Repeat Crafter Me. Attach to the tree with a yarn needle securely.

You are done! To finish, using a yarn needle make sure all the yarn ends are securely fastened and woven in throughout the tree and star!
