Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Crochet the Tree (Green Yarn)

Foundation

Make a slip knot with green yarn and chain 4.
Skip 3 chains (they count as the first dc), 2 double crochets (dc) in the last chain. (3 dc in first row)

First Branch Expansion

Row 2:
- Chain 3 (counts as dc), turn.
- 2 dc in the same stitch, dc in next dc.
- In the last stitch (top of turning chain), 3 dc in the same place. (7 dc this row)
Row 3:
- Chain 3, turn. 2 dc in same st.
- Dc in each dc across until last st; 3 dc in last st.
- (13 dc in this row)
Row 4:
- Chain 3, turn. 2 dc in same st.
- Dc across to last st; 3 dc in last st.
- (19 dc in this row)

Making Tiered Branches – First “Tip” Row

Slip stitch (sl st) in the next 5 dc (walk over next stitches without crocheting regular dc).
In the 6th stitch, ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc in same stitch.
Dc in next three stitches.
In the next stitch, 3 dc in the same stitch (makes a “tip”).
Fasten off or turn, as you prefer—this establishes the appearance of branch layers.

2. Continue with Next Branch Sections

Continue increasing for four rows:
- At each end, always put 3 dc in the first and last stitch; dc across between them.
- Every 4 rows, repeat the “tip” process:
  - Slip stitch along 6 or 7 stitches at start, then work across, ending with multiple dc in one point to shape a branch “tip”.
Repeat as needed:
- To grow your tree, make more 4-row sections, always starting each group with a slip stitch “walk” as before, then increasing over each row for width.

3. Even Out and Edge

After your final tier, single crochet (sc) around entire edge for a crisp look:
- At every outer tip/corner, do [sc, ch 1, sc] in the same stitch.
- Work three sc per side point for smooth sides.
Join with a sl st. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

4. Add the Trunk (Brown Yarn)

At the bottom center of the pine tree (count 13 or 14 across, center your trunk), attach brown yarn.
Ch 3, dc in same stitch.
Dc in next 5–6 stitches, keeping trunk centered.
2 dc in last trunk st.
Fasten off and secure/shape on the back.

5. Prepare the Hanging Ring (Red Yarn)

Knot red yarn to the plastic hoop.
Ch 2 (counts as sc), then
Make 13 more sc around the ring (total 14 sc) to cover the whole hoop.
Join with a sl st and fasten off.

6. Attach the Ring to the Tree

Place the plastic ring at the top tip of the pine tree (wrong side of tree).
With a tapestry needle or hook and yarn, attach the ring with slip stitches or overcast stitches—going through only back loops of tree and inner loop of ring for neatness.
Secure well, weave in and trim all ends.

Tutor’s Suggestions

Add little beads or French knots for "ornaments" before assembling for a festive look.
For a larger tree, add more sets of four increase rows and tip rows.
Block your finished project lightly for sharp, crisp edges and points.

Uses

Door or wall hanging
Holiday tree or window ornament
Gift embellishment or stocking tag

Tip

For perfectly pointed branches, always do [sc, ch 1, sc] at the very tip during the single crochet border. This keeps your tree looking sharp and well-defined.

Conclusion

You now have a festive pine tree ornament, perfect for your Christmas decorating or giving as a seasonal gift. Enjoy customizing your tree with different sizes or colors and share your holiday cheer with every handmade detail.
