This is a simple motif that you can use to decorate cards, turn into ornaments or even make a load and turn them into a garland!

Materials List: 

Small amount of green wool
Suitable sized crochet hook

Finished Size: 

My little trees are only about 2 inches tall - but this will vary depending on what wool and sized crochet hook that you use.

Gauge: 

Keep it nice and tight! These trees look best when they are slightly stiff.

Notes: 

I designed this very simple Christmas tree after spending a long time trying to find a suitable free pattern online and having no joy. They are very quick and easy to make - and can make lovely tree decorations if you back them with felt and add a few sparkley sequins.
