I know how to make small trees that you put over one of those renusit
air freshiners that are shaped like a cone. Just save this message since I'm
going to give you the instructions now. It calls for a g crochet hook whitch
makes it a little tight, but I got around that by trying to keep my stitches
loose because you start at the top of the tree and go to the bottom and come
back up to the top to make the branches and that can make the work tighter and
it won't fit to well over the renusit if you work to tight. I guess you can
use a bigger hook, but the branches might not look to nice. Ok with a size g
hook and four ply yarn ch6 and join tog with a slst. row 1: 1 sc in each chst.
row 2: two sc in each sc of previous row, 12sts. row 3: in front loop
only 1sc in each stitch of previous row 12sts; making sure that ridges from
front loop are on outside of cone. row 4: 1sc in front loop of first three
sts, 2sc in next stitch, *rpt across row, 15 sts in row. row 5: sc in front
loop of each st of previous row 15st. Repeat this pattern until you have 36sts
increase three times in every other row, ending with 36sts and last row in
front loop sc across all 36sts. First row of branches: along front loop of
each st at bottom 3dc in each of the 36 sts across row. Skip the next row and
go up to the next row. (Each row is a stripe from going in the front loop.)
Work 3dc in each st 33 sts in that row. Repeat to top of tree (last row of
branches should be 12 sts with 3dc in each st.) Cut yarn and tuck end in top.
After tree is finished put a bead in the first and last stitch of each little
branch. Don't put a bead between the branches. Tree will be covered with
beads. You should only see a little bit of green between the beads. It says
put each bead on with a shraight pin but I sew them on so they stay. That
would be a lot of pins and in the way. Putting on the beads is the hardest
part since you need so many. Thats why I don't make to many of them. I hope
you can figure out this pattern. If you have any questions just ask and I'll
try to explain. Take care, and hope you can make this tree ok. Carolyn.
