Hello all!
Here comes another free pattern for Christmas this year! I wanted to try combining crochet techniques with basic decorations so it feels like decorating your own mini Christmas tree đđ

If I find out anyone who's selling this tree with the exact pattern I made/ claiming as theirs, you will be hunted down. Mark my words (ಠçಠâŹ)

Eyes and mouth
Eye position: embroider eyes in the 6th row from the top, with 4 stitches space in between
Mouth: cut felt shaped into the mouth of your choice
Blush: to add on the sides of the sides of the cheeks as you wish
Decorations
Ribbons and sequins
Place ribbon and sequins on top of tree and sew them on. I used a very thick ribbon of organza ribbon (5cm wide, folded into half), leaving a tail of ~5cm, for my tree.
To achieve the curly ribbon effect, I twirled the ends of my ribbon and sew it onto the sides of the tree.
Garland
With the 3 back loop rows of the tree, either:
-Wrap and sew fluffy yarn along the rows
-Crochet through back loops using fluffy yarn all around
-Crochet little edges of your own choice using single stitches, or any kind of stitches!
This was done using single crochets through the back loops with fluffy yarn.
And you're done with your very own Princessy tree! It looks good as a life sized tree for other palm sized crochets!
Hope that you guys enjoyed the tutorial and do tag me in your creations on Instagram (@momo.rave) if you have tried my pattern!
