Crochet Christmas Trees


We left our Christmas tree in St. Louis and so I thought I would experiment making some crocheted trees for our dining room table.  I've been making a lot of crocheted hats so I just tried to make a long, skinny pointed hat.  No pattern, just increasing a little at a time.  I found some colorful globe push pins at Joann Fabric that look like little ornaments and chain stitched a red garland.  The other ones ended up on the bookcases in the living room.  The yarn is a combination of Joann Fabric Rainbow Boucle and Lion Brand Color Waves.  It makes a thick crocheted tree that can stand up on it's own. I'm using a J/10 hook.   The trees are 14", 17" and 11" respectively.
