Bringing a bit of nature to life is very satisfying. Plant these trees across your mantle, bring them out at Christmas, or use them as a forest for your children’s toys. I’ve provided two yarn weights and two finishing options here (with and without the wrapped cord), but once you start, you will easily see how to do them in other weights and with modifications to make them delightful. I’m really looking forward to your creativity. Or should I say creativi-tree?

As war and turmoil march across the landscape, we can plant peace and healing. Every purchase of this pattern will mean $1 donated to help refugees through the UNHCR.
