INSTRUCTIONS to make the Tags
SKILL Level – Easy with a bit of sewing in the tails. The project requires crocheting in all three loops of the beginning chain.
About Pattern: This quirky 3 dimensional version of a Christmas tree is a fun way of using just simple crochet chains and placements of joining by slip stitches.
COMPLETED SIZE: Any weight of yarn works. Ideal being DK weight or more.
This gives a good sized tag that can be used for bags or even key rings.
Total length: 5" including the tag loop.
Length of the motif: 2.25"
If you'd like more fun and quirky market makes - you can always check out more patterns from my Ravelry or Lovecrafts stores.
Materials:
Yarn Used: Yarn of choice – DK weight cotton yarn. Total Yardage: 88 - 98 yards for 50g
I have used – approximately 1.5 yards of the yarn for the base/trunk; 5 - 6 yards of yarn for the tree (leaves).
I have used Zuchi Ami Cotton yarn for the featured project in the pattern.
Crochet hook – I HAVE USED: 3.5mm hook for the project featured in the pictures. You can use crochet hook, a size or two smaller than you’d usually use with the yarn. This gives you tight stitches and rigidity to the project.
Scissors and a needle to finish up.
GUAGE: N/A. According to the gauge/yarn/ hook used, the size and stiffness of the project may vary. Custom instructions will be highlighted.
Stitches used: US crochet terms
ch - chain
ss – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
PLEASE NOTE:
· ch1 doesn’t count as a stitch, unless specified.

LET’S START!!!
The base or trunk:
Using Dark Brown yarn/ or any contrasting color, make the base as follows.
Chain 3
ROW 1: sc in the second ch from the hook,
sc in the next chain. Ch1 and TURN. (2sc)
To make a bigger trunk; else directly jump to ROW 3 instructions.
ROW 2: sc in each stitch. ch1 and TURN. (2sc)
ROW 3: skip the first stitch, and make sc in the next stitch. (1sc)
Continue and Chain 45, and slip stitch (ss) into the 35th chain.
ALTERNATIVELY - you can count 10 chains from the end of ROW 3 and ss into that.
Refer to the picture.
Fasten off and leave a long tail to weave in.

Making the Leaves:
The Top of the TREE(Leaves) is crocheted in 3 panels to give you a 3-Dimensional tree-top and bulk.
Join the Green yarn (or any color of choice for a quirky version) to the same chain we ended the previous segment.
Before we start though; we need to ensure we know where we will be working the stitches.
Each crochet chain has 3 parts: Front Loop, Back Loop and Third Loop/Back Bump.
As shown in the picture, we will work the panel into each set of the loops.

As shown, we will be working in the Front Loop Only (FLO) of the chains.
