Make your own Christmas Tree!

I know it seems a bit too early to prepare for Christmas but nothing is wrong to prepare early right? Haha..

This is the most time consuming and 'patience testing' pattern i have ever made. It might not seems like that much of work, but imagine among all those ruffles and layers after layers of trees. It hidden the most work of the crochet. I did consider to remove or reduce the ruffles and layers, but it wouldn't create the effects that i wanted. So to achieve the desired look, i have to bear the huge sums of stitches. I think i need to calculate how many thousands of stitches that i have crochet...

Okay, back to the Christmas tree. Consists of 8 different layers of 'leaf' at different diameter at each level. I have used some shiny acrylic yarn of gold, red and silver to make a round ornament for the tree. Hang on the tree using split ring and finished of with a gold and red ribbon. The top of the tree is a yellow star. Whole tree measure 12 inches from top to bottom.
More christmas theme stuff coming up. For those interested, please visit my Etsy or Ebay store.

Happy Crocheting.
