Inspired by folk art designs from around the world, this tapestry project features bold bright primary colors, plus green of course, it is a tree after all.

#1 Super Fine yarn was used in the pictured sample with a 2.0 mm crochet hook.

A 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch dowel, 36 inches long, is needed or your chosen method of hanging.

5 colors are needed:
• Red
• Royal Blue
• Dark Green
• Sunny Yellow
• Natural White

Yarn substitutes include any #1 Fine yarn, size 10 crochet thread held double, size 3 crochet thread such as Knit Picks Curio 3, Nazli Gelin Garden 3.

Heavier weight yarn could also be used to make a larger piece.

Be sure to select a hook size to achieve a sufficiently “non-holey” fabric

Pattern is provided using a grid-based graph. In this grid, each square is equal to one single crochet stitch, and colors are changed according to the squares on the graph.

Stitches should be worked carefully and precisely, but not pulled so tight as to make them difficult to work into. I find using the “yarn under” sc, and not yanking the top of the stitch tight is perfect for this project.
