Winter is definitely here. And as I was thinking about Christmas and Advent time I got the idea to crochet an unusual decorative tree. Not one but four of them and make it into an Advent Wreath. And there is the pattern for anyone who is decorating their homes for a Christmas soon to come.

This tree is not crocheted in one piece. Before it is stiffen with starch it reminds a fan. A great advantage is that if anyone crochets loosely or tightly it actually does not matter. When you put it on a polystyrene cone either there is a small gap you can decorate with a ribbon afterwards or you can fold the opposite sites over each other when it is slightly bigger and still it will look great. DO NOT FORGET TO USE FLAMELESS CANDLES.
