* If your plastic is too flexible, cut out 2 or 3 pieces and put them together. You can also use a
cardboard.
Cut the yarn off leaving a tail 15-20 cm to weave in the end.
Use the "straight edge" method (see the next page for instructions).

Before continuing to crochet, measure how much wire you will need. It should be inserted into
the tree and the pot and repeat the shape of the pot bottom. Roughly measure and cut the wire,
keep in mind that there will be also a stem and soil (p.19). Form the bottom part (p.20,21), bend
the top part (p.22). Put fiberfill around the wire and wrap it with strapping tape (p.23), the width
should be enough to fill the top of the tree.
19 20 21
22 23 24
Insert the wire, firmly stuff the tree, and continue crocheting (p.25).
Make regular decreases in the next round instead of invisible ones: pull a loop through one stitch,
pull a loop through the next stitch (p.26), yarn over, pull through 3 loops on the hook (p.27).

STEM
Change the color of yarn to brown (fasten off the green yarn).
SOIL
Change the color of yarn to black (fasten off the brown yarn).
29
Cut the yarn off leaving a tail about 50 cm long for sewing.
ASSEMBLING
This is optional, but it will make the contraction more stable: glue the bottom wire to the plastic
circle (p.30), glue the circle to the bottom of the pot (p.31,32).
If you don’t want to use glue, just insert the plastic piece and wire inside the pot.

Stuff firmly. Sew the soil to the inner side of the pot (p.33). As we have 60 back loops left on the
inner side of the pot and 54 loops in the last row of the top, we will skip each 10th loop of the pot
(p.34). Fasten off and weave in the end.
33 34 35
Bend the top of the tree, with a black yarn create a guideline for the garland (p.36). First, we will
crochet the light bulbs on the tree following the guiding line and then embroider the string.
The bulbs are made with a bobble stitch: a group of 3 incomplete double
crochet stitches into one stitch closed at the top. Turn the tree upside
down, insert your hook between the rounds and attach the yarn (p.37).
Ch 2 (p.38), yarn over, insert the hook into the same stitch, yarn over, pull
up a loop, yarn over, pull through 2 loops on the hook (p.39), repeat 2 more
times, now we have 4 loops on the hook (p.40), yarn over and pull through
all 4 loops (p.41). Scan or click

Ch 1 (p.42), cut the yarn off and pull the thread out. Tie both ends together a few times (p.43)
and weave them in (p.44).
Continue making light bulbs following the guideline. You can use any colors you wish, I chose
yellow and red (p.45)
42 43 44
Attach black yarn to the 1st light bulb, make a stitch through the top of it (p.46), go to the next
bulb, for this and all the following bulbs: make a stitch through the top of the bobble stitch twice
(p.47,48). Continue attaching black yarn this way till the last bobble stitch.
Make one long stitch to finish the garland at the top of the tree and weave in the yarn end
(p.49,50).

Stitches that are highlighted in mustard color should be worked with mustard yarn. Do not cut
the yarn off after the color change, leave it on the inside of the work till you need it again.
For the instructions on how to change yarn colors see page 8.

Make as many sc as you need to reach the marked stitch (I had 1 sc), insert
