This pattern is FREE with coupon code FREETREE

Note:
I was forced to made it FREE.
Was “fortunate” to become a target of some fraudster with at least 5 different Etsy stores, who keeps copying my listing playing on the fact that it is a “bestseller” and comes on top of Etsy search results for “Tree of Life”.

I fully understand that some people, who paid for this pattern prior, will feel unhappy about this. Sorry about that. All I can say is that my loss is much bigger.

To those who made a purchase from any Etsy Store other than mine, 2PRCrochetbyLara: Please report your issues to Etsy. Good Luck with that. I have given up on Etsy.

Item Description:
This pattern is available as pdf file download in English only, using US crochet terms.
The file includes general project description and a full circle crochet diagram or chart of crochet stiches. There is NO co-called Written Pattern as a set of step-by-step crochet instructions that would describe which crochet stitches to use, when to use them and where.

The pattern is best suited for crocheters who have prior experience making a crochet doily or similar items from crochet diagram. Beginners may find it challenging.

The entire pattern is done with two basic crochets: chain and treble, using 1.75 mm hook.

Materials and Supplies:
• Metal hoop 28”/ 70 cm in diameter.
• 1/2 lb (227 grams) of 10/2 Linen Yarn, 100% Unbleached Linen (1500 yards/1 lb). Maurice Brassard 10/2 Linen Yarn was used.
• Crochet hook, 1.75 mm.
• Double sided tape 6 mm wide if the hoop is to be wrapped with yarn to give it a finished, integrated look.

Choosing the yarn:
Try avoiding soft yarns that are intended for clothing/ garments and come as soft skeins or balls. Stiffer cotton or linen yarns with more body are best suited, especially yarns intended for weaving rugs and items like table runners and table placemats. Those stiffer weaving yarns usually come as cones and tend to produce a crochet piece that does not stretch as much as circle crocheted with softer yarns. The unbleached linen yarn used in the pictures is a warp yarn normally used as a foundation for weaving rugs.
