Merry Christmas Tree

Materials:
Green yarn
Optional white yarn if you want snow on the branches
Crochet hook 5mm for tree
Crochet hook 1mm for decorations
Needle
Stitch marker
Note:
-The entire tree is crocheted in back loops only, at the end
the branches will be added to the front loops.
-To make the tree nice and firm, its best to use 2 strands of
yarn held together for the base. For the branches you can
use 1 strand!
Rnd 1: magic loop, 6sc in loop (6)
Rnd 2: sc around (6)
Rnd 3: *1sc, 2sc in next st* 3 times (9)
Rnd 4: sc around (9)
Ch Chain
Rnd 5: *2sc, 2sc in next st* 3 times (12)
Sc Single crochet
Rnd 6: sc around (12)
St Stitch
Rnd 7: sc around (12)
Dc Double crochet
Rnd 8: *3sc, 2sc in next st* 3 times(15)
Rnd 9: sc around (15)
Rnd 10: sc around (15)
Rnd 11: sc around (15)
Rnd 12: *4sc, 2sc in next st* 3 times(18)
Rnd 13: sc around (18)
Rnd 14: sc around (18)
Rnd 15: sc around (18)
Rnd 16: sc around (18)
Now turn the tree upside-down and work in the front loops that
you see circling around the tree: *sc1, ch4, sc1 in next, ch3, sc1
in next, ch2, sc 1 in next, ch3* Work this way all around the tree,
leaving the the last 4 stitches without branches (this is the top of
the tree). If you want snow on the branches you just change
color every round, one round green and one round white.
Cast off and weave in ends!
Garland:
*ch4, 1 sc in 3rd loop* repeat till garland is long enough.
Star:
Rnd 1: magic loop, 10sc in loop, join with a slip stitch.
Rnd 2: *1sc, ch1, (in next stitch 1dc, ch3, 1dc, ch1)* repeat 4
times more and end with a slip stitch.
Cast off and sew on top.
