I have always thought that even the most miniscule amounts of yarn will come in handy one day and as a result I have acquired a very big basketful of leftovers; just like most of you I expect! This is just a silly but fun pattern I designed as a way of using some of them up. They make great tree decorations or you could use them to decorate a Christmas present.

The pattern uses US crochet terms and only basic crochet stitches are required including single crochet and double crochet. The tutorial gives full instructions as well as images.

When I was designing the pattern I got carried away and ended up crocheting a whole forest of trees! Before I’d finished one I was rummaging in my basket for colours for the next. I hope you might get a bit carried away too … x

The PDF pattern is an instant download and once you get started I’m here to help if you need it.
