This is such a quick holiday project and will be a cute festive addition to your Christmas decor. Perfect for beginners and uses minimal yarn. Grab some scrap green and brown yarn, some twine - and you'll have some trees in no time. Notes before you begin: Ch 1 does not count as a stitch The tree in green is worked up first. The brown yarn is attached to the bottom of the tree and worked for 3 rows. The mini trees are perfect for gift toppers or gift bags, but can also be attached as a garland.

I saw my friend AnnMarie making stacks of these trees this past month. I decided it would be fun to gather with a few friends and do a tree swap! Here is the blog where you will find the original directions and an easy print out for these trees. But as my friend Susan discovered, sometimes trimming the trees down to the recommended size, was just a bit too small for our liking. So, here's a pictorial to clarify for my swap friends just exactly how to make the trees and the trimming measurements. Start with a TWO 2"x 4-1/4" tree fabrics, cut diagonally as shown with just ONE of tree rectangles then cut the opposite diagonal on the second tree rectangle. Cut TWO background fabrics 2-3/4"x6" then cut one on the diagonal and the other on the opposite diagonal just like the tree rectangles. From all these fabrics, you will render 2 trees. Take the two background fabrics (one from each of the different diagonal cuts) and lay the tree fabrics (again, one from each of the opposite diagonal cuts) right sides together as shown. Pay close attention that the correct edge of the tree fabric is stitched onto the correct edge of the background. Make sure the points of the tree fabric are at the very tip of the background fabric....stitch as shown Press towards the tree fabric i trimmed where the tree top intersects on both sections lining up with the edge of the green tree fabric and trying to keep things as square as possible. Now the center of the tree can be lined up and stitched using the 1/4" seam allowance right sides together even if it looks a bit uneven, i pin where the tree top intersects and the trimming squares the block up press seams open I trimmed this section to 4", leaving as much of the background fabric at the top as i could (almost and inch) Next comes the trunk. The original directions say to cut TWO background pieces 2"x4+" INSTEAD...cut them 2-1/2"x 4". you can always trim down. Sew the brown 7/8" strip between the 2-1/2x4" rectangles and press away from the trunk Subcut into 1" sections to be used for more than 1 trunk if you like. Find the middle of the trunk and line up with the vertical seam on tree and stitch in place Now here's the trimming dimensions for my swap partners..... Trim block to 4-3/8" tall (there should be approximately 7/8" of background above the tip of the tree. And from the seam of the trunk to the bottom of the block there should be approximately 3/4". The width should measure approx. 3-6/8". I lined my ruler at the 1-7/8" mark with the vertical seam and trimmed the side. Then i flipped the block, measured again using the 1-7/8" mark on the vertical seam and trimmed the opposite side. I hope this picture helps. For the open spaces with no trees, cut the background fabric 3-6/8"x4-3/8" (same size as the trimmed tree block) Here is AnnMarie's forest Yes...it looks like Christmas.... but never to early to start!!

Hey Everyone! I’m back and with a new free wall hanging crochet pattern. I am so excited to be sharing this pattern with you because this pattern (and the large version this pattern is designed from!) was a true labor of love. To purchase the full size Mountainside Wall Hanging click here! Landscapes have always been on my “one day I will get around to it” list. I kept putting it off because I knew it would be a daunting task and, to be honest, I didn’t know if I would be able to pull it off. I am definitely a more confident designer when I have a clear design in mind and I have an exact direction I want the pattern to go in. When I’m not as confident in a design I will put it off until I literally have no other design ideas left (insert facepalm emoji here, lol). I am so glad I bit the bullet and put my perfectionism aside because designing this pattern was such a fun experience and I am so happy to finally share it with all of you. I hope everyone loves the pattern as much as I do! Happy Crocheting! This post contains affiliate links that support the content on LoveandStitchDesign.com. Each affiliate link has a * beside it.

I’ve also included a PDF download of the chart for this pattern. Materials *5.00 mm Crochet Hook Weight 4 Worsted Weight Yarn (yarn I used listed below) Dowel Rod or Tree Branch *Yarn Needle *Scissors Yarn Choice For most of my wall hanging patterns I prefer to use a thicker and tighter spun worsted weight yarn. I feel like it gives a lot more definition to the piece and details tend to stand out more. I really don’t focus too much on the texture of the yarn because I steam every single one of my wall hangings, which softens the piece and makes it more flexible and flowy. This is especially helpful for tighter crocheters. The brands I tend to gravitate the most towards are Red Heart Super Saver, Caron One Pound and Loops & Threads Impeccable. *KNITCRATE: Get 1 free crate (you pay shipping) and 1 item in the shop for 20% off when you use my code LOVEANDSTITCH at checkout at knitcrate.com. For this wall hanging I used the following yarn: Red Heart Super Saver in Black Loops & Threads Impeccable in Sea Green Loops & Threads Impeccable in Aqua Loops & Threads Impeccable in Teal Loops & Threads Impeccable in Putty Red Heart Super Saver in Aran Red Heart Super Saver in Café’ Latte Loops & Threads Impeccable in Soft Taupe Red Heart Super Saver in Buff Loops & Threads Impeccable in White Red Heart Super Saver in Soft Navy Stitch Key (US Terms) Ch = Chain St/sts = Stitch(es) Sc = Single Crochet Color Abbreviations B = Black SG = Sea Green A = Aqua T = Teal P = Putty AR = Aran CL = Café’ Latte ST = Soft Taupe BF = Buff W = White SN = Soft Navy Special Notes -The wall hanging is worked in rows. -The wall hanging is worked from the bottom up. -The 1st st of each row should be placed into the same stitch as the turning chain. -The turning chain does not count as the 1st stitch of the row. -The wall hanging is worked in single crochet. -The pattern is written as: # of single crochet stitches (color abbreviation), example: 8(A) means 8 sc in the color Aran. -This wall hanging is worked up using the cut and tie color changing method.

Use a larger crochet hook and push the hook through the far left foundation chain on the bottom of the piece. Fold the 3 strands in half and loop the middle of the strands onto the crochet hook and pull the loop of strands through the foundation chain about 2 inches. Fold the strands through the loop. Tighten to create the fringe. Repeat for every other foundation chain. Trim the fringe to your preferred length.
