Tree Body:

  1. Starting at the Top: Using green yarn, make a magic ring (or ch 4 and join with a sl st to form a ring).
  2. Round 1: Ch 1, work 6 sc into the ring, join with a sl st to the first sc. (6 sc)

  5. Round 4: Ch 1, work 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, 2 sc in the next st, repeat around, join with a sl st to the first sc. (24 sc)
  6. Continue increasing in this manner, adding 6 stitches in each round until your desired circumference is reached. This forms the cone shape of the tree. Once the desired size is reached, fasten off and weave in ends.

Ornaments:

Using assorted colors, yarn, and a yarn needle, create small crochet circles or other shapes to represent ornaments. Attach them randomly around the body of the tree using the yarn needle and coordinating yarn.
