This little Christmas tree doorknob hanger was something I created a few years ago. It has changed a little over the last few years as I have refined the pattern. The crocodile stitches and the “ornaments” (in the form of different beads and bells) are created at the same time as the background. They also create little points where you can add other mini ornaments (I might see if I can write up a few of my patterns for mini ornaments to fit this little tree). Technically, there should be a little more space between my crocodile stitches. However, I was playing around with placement and decided to go with a crowded tree structure, which worked with the green yarn that I had left on the skein at the time I finalised this pattern (I had less than a metre left when I finished making the “leaves” of my tree).

I used 4 Seasons Marvel 8 ply yarn (green and brown) and 4 Seasons Marvel Soft 8 ply yarn (yellow) in the following quantities:

Cadium green (colourway 1020) 9 g (26 m, 28 yds)

Brown marble (colourway 1021) 1 g (2.8 m, 2.3 yds)

Yellow (colourway 80270347) 2 g (4.6 m, 5 yds)

I incorporated 15 beads into the pattern that act as the ornaments which were all threaded onto the yarn before I began.
