Decorated Christmas Tree

Add caption

Hi,
Friends, this is December and people in India as well as in all over the world, are waiting for Christmas. They are busy in planning about Christmas decoration. My little grandson and daughters in USA had already decorated Christmas tree. So here I made this decorated crochet Christmas tree at my home for the group of subscribers of my channel "Kalopasak".

This is one foot high tree, beads are there as bulbs and other ornaments as Santa, Sock, Star, Snow flake, Bells etc are also attached.

Pattern:
R1: Magic loop with ch 3 and 5 dcs, close by sl st in third ch.
(6 sts)
R2: ch 3 and dc 1 in first st, (dc 1 in next st, dc 2 in next) repeat once, dc 1 in next, close, (9 sts)
R3: ch 3 and dc 1 in first st, (dc 1 in next 2 sts, dc 2 in next) repeat, dc 1 in last 2 sts, close, (12 sts)
R4: ch 3 and dc 1 in first st, (dc 1 in next 3 sts, dc 2 in next) repeat, dc 1 in last 3 sts, close, (15 sts)
R5: ch 3 and dc 1 in first st, (dc 1 in next 4 sts, dc 2 in next) repeat, dc 1 in last 4 sts, close, (18 sts)
R6: ch 3 and dc 1 in first st, (dc 1 in next 5 sts, dc 2 in next) repeat, dc 1 in last 5 sts, close, (21 sts).

This we go on increasing 3 sts in each row. Repeat these rows increasing number of sts by 1 every time, in which dc 1 is worked, till the expected height is reached. In my case I worked 25 rows and finally my stitches were 78. Then bind off.

Now thread sufficient number of beads in green yarn attach the yarn at some st where the first round is complete.

Work ch 3, bead 1, ch 1 and join by sc 1 in the next st of the same row. As you go farther, you may attach it by sc 1 skipping one st. Also you may have each 7 ch round with bead or some some with bead and some without bead.

After finishing one round ch 3 and go to the st below this round and repeat the same for all rounds.

Now we make star or snow flake. There are variety of snow flakes and stars but here we make very simple one.

Now the last part I have done is for support to that tree, I took an old file in my home and make a cone of the same height as that of tree as in fig 7. Fix it with tape or stepler pins. You may also use drawing sheet or any paper which is little bit thick.

Attach glue or sew all ornaments to the tree then put the tree on this card board cone.


For ice: As it is Christmas decoration  children will remember ice and winter; for that I put some fiber around the tree as in fig 8.
