Simple knitted Christmas trees with knitting needles. How to knit a Christmas tree with knitting needles? — Useful information for everyone
Any needlewoman wants to improve and expand her knowledge in the field of applied art in which she is engaged. We invite our readers to master the Herringbone pattern using standard knitting needles. This option for designing a knitting fabric with the help of a pattern is available even for beginner needlewomen. We invite you to learn more about the process of creating such a universal and simple pattern using knitting needles with your own hands.
Original and unusual herringbone pattern on knitted The canvas has a pattern similar to a fabric called "tweed". If you use threads with a thick diameter and thick knitting needles for knitting, then the fabric will turn out to be very warm and dense. This pattern is very well suited for knitting warm sweaters, jackets, cardigans, as well as coats.
We knit a herringbone pattern with knitting needles: a detailed and step-by-step master class
We bring to your attention a detailed step by step description the process of knitting a fabric with a herringbone pattern. Choose the right threads and needles for your product. Now you can start the process of knitting a fabric with an original pattern.
Type on the working knitting needles any number of loops. You can pick up a small number of loops on the surface of the knitting needles to learn how to create patterns.
First row: edge loop, then knit two loops together with the front loop behind the back wall of the loop, then drop only one loop out of two from the left knitting needle, the second loop should remain on the knitting needle. Then knit the remaining stitch with the new stitch, knit 2 together behind the back walls and drop one stitch from the left needle. The second loop should remain, for knitting the next two loops. Thus, continue knitting until the end of the row of your fabric. At the end of the row you have one loop left, you need to knit it in the front way.
Second row: similar to the first, but there you knitted facial loops, and in this row you need to form purl loops. Make an edge loop, then knit two loops together using the wrong loop, then drop only one loop from the left knitting needle, out of two, the second loop should remain on the working knitting needle. Then you need to knit it with a new loop, two together from the wrong side and drop one loop from the left again. working needle. The second remains for knitting the next two loops. At the end of the row you have one loop left, knit it in the wrong way.
The remaining rows must be knitted, repeating the manipulations of the first and second rows of the fabric. Your herringbone canvas is now complete!
We bring to your attention a master class with detailed diagram knitting a double-sided herringbone pattern using knitting needles. In the diagram presented to you, both the front and back rows of knitting are indicated. Facial rows - from left to right, purl - from right to left. The pattern repeat is twenty stitches wide and twenty eight rows high.
For symmetry, before rapport, tie nine loops, after rapport, form ten more loops.
In patterns where yarn overs are required on the purl rows, knit two or three loops together. It is also necessary to follow the instructions for knitting these loops.
An empty cell is a facial loop. In the front rows of your knitting - the front loop, and in the wrong side - the wrong loop.
Two front loops must be knitted together with the front loop with an inclination to the right. Insert the needle into the second loop and the first loop, starting from the second loop, and knit them together.
In the purl rows, knit a loop with the same designation as two purl ones together with a slope to the left.
Knit two knit together with a slope in left side. Remove the first loop as with the front knitting method, knit the second loop with the front knitting method and pull the removed loop through it. In the purl rows, knit a loop with the same designation as two purl ones together with a slope to the right.
Knit three loops together with the front method with an inclination to the left. Remove one loop without knitting, knit the next two loops together behind the front walls, and stretch the resulting loop through the removed one.

A selection of thematic video for the article
In order for you to create a herringbone pattern, we suggest you watch a selection of interesting videos. It shows a clear example of knitting and the step-by-step creation of the correct rows of a product with a pattern. After viewing and studying the materials in detail, you will probably be able to repeat the rapport pattern yourself. Enjoy watching!
For work, we need threads of the main color approx. 50g. and a little extra suitable color, hook
(I used No. 2), cardboard, tape.
Abbreviations:
vp - air loop
ss - connecting post
ps - half-column
sc - single crochet
ssn - double crochet
st - column
Leaf:
Yarn over, insert the hook from the bottom up under the dc, knit the dc. (Knitting is better to turn sideways towards you) Knit 4 more dc. Make a pico (ch 3, sl-st in the third ch from the hook).
Nakid, turn knitting with another dc towards you, insert a hook under it, knit dc and 4 more dc. The leaf is ready.
View from the inside:
With a thread of an additional color, we knit a chain of 72 ch. We close in the ring ss.
1-2 row knit sbn (72st.)
3 row: 3 ch, dc in the next st, (2 ch, 2 st skip, dc in the next 2 st) to the end of the ring. 2 in. connect ss,
attach the main thread.
You should get something like this grid.
4 row: ch, (leaflet, ch 2, skip 2 st of the previous row) to the end, ch 2.
Connect ss, change the thread to an auxiliary one.
Here we have such beautiful leaves (9 pieces).
Now attention! We will knit in the opposite direction (on the wrong side).
5 row: ps in a chain of 2 ch leaves, 3 ch, dc in the same chain, (ch 2, 2 dc in the middle of the leaf, ch 2, dc in the chain between the leaves) to the end, ch 2, connect sl-st.
Attach the main thread.
6 row: knit in the face. ch, leaf (a little back, but this will not affect the quality of the leaf), (2 ch, 2 st skip, leaf in the next 2 st) to the end, 2 ch, connect sl-st.
Attach an auxiliary thread. We should get leaves in a checkerboard pattern (9 pieces each).
Thus, we knit 2-3 rows of leaves, (leaves on the face, lattice on the wrong side). I have three rows. Let's finish next to the lattice. In the next row, we need to tie one leaf less. To do this, after knitting 2-3 leaves, skip, attention! 3 pairs of ssn. We knit a leaf in the 4th pair.
Then we knit to the end, as usual.
And another row of lattice (when you knit the lattice, grab the middle missing pair of dc, otherwise it will sag in this place) and leaves without change. Lattice row. And again, one leaf less. A number of lattices and leaves without change. And so on. At the top is a row of 3 leaves.
And further. In the rows where there will be 4 leaves, knit not 2 ch, but one. In the last rows, do not knit at all. This is needed for
to keep the hole at the top as small as possible. Tighten the remaining hole. Remove the ends of the threads inward.
The tree is connected. We got 15 rows of leaves.
Tip: make reductions in different places.
Now we take a thick cardboard about 30 * 30 in size. We turn the cone, insert it into the tree and carefully unfold it so that the tree takes shape. Mark the length of the tree. Pull out the cone. We fix it with tape so that it does not turn around. We cut off the excess.
Homemade knitted Christmas trees different types children like it very much. You can please your baby by making for him one of those models that you will find in our lesson. Any of them will be an interior decoration if you add it to the company of New Year's toys. When the design allows, place a knitted tree in the center holiday table, on a nightstand, dresser or desk, like a figurine. You just need to spend a little time and knit any of your favorite models with your own hands. The knitting process is simple, and any needlewoman, even not very experienced, will cope with it.
In the lesson we will look at some of the most popular ways of such needlework.
To make this original Christmas tree, you will need a skein of thread "Grass" (100 grams), green. If desired, a toy Christmas tree can be made from yarn of a different color:
In addition, prepare ordinary knitting needles, sequins, beads and glass beads, tinsel and snowflakes. Pick up all those small shiny details that can decorate a small Christmas tree and make it smart. To decorate the trunk, you will need a wooden stick with a length of 25 to 30 centimeters (cm):
The stand can be made from a small glass, and for various purposes you will need threads, a needle and plasticine. Let's start needlework by making the bottom part. For her, we will knit 21 loops (P) with knitting needles, and we will knit the square shape of the fabric with front loops (LP) in the front rows. On the reverse side, we knit purl loops (IP). The result is a regular stocking knit. The second square is knitted from 20 P, that is, one less, and it will be the next layer of the tree. We will need to make 18 squares, each of which is 1 P less than the previous one:
Having finished the last detail, we sheathe the edges with sparkles that imitate small toys. As a result, you will get this result:
Now it remains to carefully put everything together related details, alternately stringing them on an imaginary trunk. Before starting the assembly, the barrel stick must be inserted into a plastic cup, and this container must be filled with plasticine, fixing the barrel vertically. The largest square is put on the stick first, and then all the others as they decrease. Having finished stringing the parts on the trunk, we straighten them all in turn. Finishing the needlework, we put a small star on the top of the head.
We knit beautiful interior Christmas trees according to the photo master class
To knit such an unusual Christmas tree in red and white colors, you will need yarn, knitting needles, a plastic pot, wooden sticks, synthetic winterizer and foam rubber (the latter can be replaced with gypsum to fill the container):
For each craft, you will need two knitted long triangles, one of which is white and the second is red. Their surface is decorated with embroidery, buttons and beads:
Two ready-made triangles are sewn together and filled with padding polyester:
Now it remains only to fix the trunk inside the craft:
We install the finished product in a pot, and admire the result of the work.
Unusual triangular Christmas tree toy
We knit a Christmas tree model that can be presented or used as beautiful toy on New Year's celebration. For knitting, you will need two colors of yarn, red and green. In addition, we will prepare knitting needles, a hook and any soft filler (you can take a synthetic winterizer). We will dial with knitting needles 22 P with threads of a green shade:
Then you need to make the first row (P) with facial loops:
On the reverse side of the work, we knit the second row with purl loops:
From the third front P, we begin to work with knitting needles with decreasing loops, which is performed at the beginning and end of the row. After knitting 2 P together, you need to knit 1 P in green, and 1 P in red yarn:
In the same R we knit, alternating two green and one red loop. At the end we knit 2 P together, making another decrease:
The next 4th purl R should only be knitted in green, without reducing the number of P.:
We continue to knit the fabric of this product with our own hands, subtracting P along the edges of the front R, and periodically make red blotches in them:
On the wrong side of the loop, we do not decrease, and in the front R we make blotches of the red thread only at certain intervals:
We knit with this technique until we get such a triangular fabric with red dots:
Having finished the first triangle, we will knit another one of the same, but only without red splashes:
When both triangles are ready, you need to connect them together by crocheting. The inner space is filled with padding polyester:
The trunk of the product is also crocheted, with single crochets. To do this, knit six single crochets in two rows:
If you sew a loop of thread on such a Christmas tree, you can use it as a toy for the new year.
Video: Knitting Christmas trees in a lesson for beginners
Today we decided to connect Christmas tree, we have it is not the first, so we share the idea.
She is as simple as possible.
You need to take:
1. Yarn grass (100 g), the longer the pile, the fluffier the Christmas tree will turn out.
2. Thick knitting needles, I have this number 5.
3. Sheet of paper A2.
5. Christmas mood and decorations.
Getting Started:
* We collect 101 loops on the knitting needles (including 2 edge loops). We try to knit not tight, one might even say weakly, so that the loops are comfortably knitted.
* We knit with an ordinary garter stitch (in the purl and in the front rows only the front loops) according to the scheme:
That is, we knit 101 loops - 7 rows, on the 8th row it is necessary to evenly remove 10 loops - we knit each 9 and 10 loops together, and so on until the end of the row, so we have 91 loops.
Then, on the 16th row, 10 loops also need to be removed evenly - we knit each 8 and 9 loops in a row together.
We do the same on the 24th, 30th, 36th, 42nd, 48th, 54th and 60th rows.
It turns out a knitted fabric of a triangular shape:
* At the very end, having knitted 60 rows, we will have 11 loops left, so on the 62nd row we stretch the first working loop through the remaining 10 and tighten them (as on a hat), do not cut the thread.
* Fold our triangle in half and sew both edges, I did this with a thick crochet. note that you need to sew very weakly so as not to pull the seam, as the finished Christmas tree will stretch in length.
* Now proceed to the frame of the Christmas tree. We take a sheet of A2 format (you can use an unnecessary poster and even a newspaper in several layers), measure from an angle of 42 cm, make several marks, draw a curve and cut out along the contour.
* We fix the edges with a little overlap with adhesive tape in several places. It turns out the basis for the Christmas tree:
* We dress our Christmas tree on the frame:
The finished Christmas tree turned out to be 42 cm high, the base diameter is about 26 cm. The yarn consumption is about 90 g. Accordingly, by gaining more loops in the first row, for example, 200, you can knit a rather tall spruce (about 1 m), you will need 2-3 skeins of yarn, or vice versa, start knitting with 50 loops, and then you will get a mini- Christmas tree.
By the way, it is very convenient to hide small surprise gifts under it.
Now let's get to the fun part - decoration. Here you can fantasize as much as you like.
“And now she came to us dressed up for the holiday!”
In the first version, we didn’t even fix anything on purpose, we just wrapped a garland of tinsel around several times and added snow (holofiber), while my daughter had already created her fairy tale story - a house, deer ...
And we decorated the second Christmas tree with light balls and made a lot of bows and fixed them.
And one more thing, which turned out to be important for us, when the holiday ends, the Christmas tree is very easy to fold into a small bag and it takes very little space!
Thank you all for your attention!
Happy New Year! All the best!
An easy way to tie a beautiful Christmas tree
It is better for beginner knitters to start with bright Christmas trees, as in the photo. They are knitted with front stitch and decorated with improvised materials. 
The idea is original in its simplicity!
- It is necessary to connect two identical triangles with a color scheme of the choice of needlewomen.
- Separately, make a small leg for the Christmas tree.
- Sew blanks around the entire perimeter. For volume, you can fill a little with filler and sew the leg in the right place.
- Decorate the finished Christmas trees according to your imagination and attach a hanging ribbon.
Such knitted needles decorations will delight all family members and especially little pranksters. They can be connected to the exciting process of decorating soft New Year's toys. 
Video: Christmas tree decoration
A short MK will help beginner needlewomen tie magnificent green Christmas trees with their own hands. They can stand on a surface or hang as a decoration on a Christmas tree.
Knitted bulky cone spruce
Large, soft christmas toys can serve throughout the year as interior decorations or sofa cushions. They are especially suitable for a children's room and will bring a touch of festive mood to the fairy-tale world of little dreamers. 
For work you will need:
- yarn - 100% wool, 100 gr each 2-3 shades of green and bright colors For decoration;
- knitting needles straight and circular No. 6-7;
- filler and a needle with a large eye.
Knitting starts from the bottom, the pattern - facial surface, it is convenient for embroidering French knots, the work scheme is easy and understandable for beginner needlewomen.
- We collect 4 sts on the knitting needles and leave a long tail for sewing the bottom.
- In every person. R. from one p. we knit 2, for the front and back walls. Thus, we perform 17 p. and on the needles you should get 72 p.
- Two r. - 18 and 19 we knit purl.
- Next, we knit in a circle, the pattern is the front surface. We gradually reduce the canvas, changing the color of the threads and adding colorful stripes.
- With a needle for embroidery, we place French knots over the entire surface, they are obtained by winding the thread around the needle.
- The last step is to give the Christmas tree soft fluffiness. To do this, ready-made cases are washed 2 times in a pillowcase, in washing machine. Pure wool will get the effect of dumped and the toy will turn out tender and soft.
- The finished Christmas tree should be tightly stuffed with padding polyester and make a small neat seam with the left tail.
Advice! It is not necessary to dump the blank for the toy in the typewriter, maybe the needlewoman will like the initial knitted version!
Christmas trees from "Grass" with fluffy paws
Knitting a Christmas tree with knitting needles from shaggy grass is as easy as shelling pears! Here you can use 2 ways to create a New Year's toy. 
Method 1
Knit a lot of squares from a fluffy thread different size, decorate them with different trinkets, and then combine them in the order "from large to small" on one basis. It can be a plastic or wooden rod attached to a stable leg.
Method 2
Tie a cone out of grass, sew its edges and put it on a cardboard base. The dimensions of the blanks can be calculated independently, and create Christmas trees different sizes. The bottom is best made of thick paper or felt. 
Video: Grass model
An interesting video in 2 minutes will demonstrate how to make a Christmas tree out of grass quickly and at minimal cost. To the joy of all needlewomen!
Good afternoon, for this New Year's season, I decided to make a convenient navigator article for all existing ways crochet a Christmas tree. We will learn how to knit a variety of Christmas trees with our own hands. Let's start gradually - first the simplest Christmas trees, then more difficult. You will be able to link flat and voluminous crochet Christmas trees. New Year's with decorations. Forest, snowy. Most different models knitted Christmas trees you will find in this article. And I will also give clear explanations for each model. AND step by step master classes will give an understanding in what sequence and what needs to be done to get beautiful Christmas tree crochet.
Christmas trees HOOK
Based on the CONUS.
Here in the photo below we see a Christmas tree in the form of a crocheted cone. Here comes the usual circular knitting with a gradual decrease in the number of columns in a row. Therefore, the circle narrows and narrows - there are fewer and fewer columns in the circle. And gradually we narrow down to the top.
The decrease in the number of columns is due to the fact that we are in several places of our circular row do a double stitch. That is knit two stitches together- we hook the first one (and do not pull the thread into it, but leave it on the hook), and immediately hook the second column on the same hook - and only then we do the broach TWO SIMULTANEOUS columns on the hook.
Therefore, we divide the circular row into 6 sectors - like a cake into 6 pieces is divided in a circle. And at the beginning of each sector, we knit two columns together. Decreasing the stobics one by one in each of the 6 sectopros will give us a narrowing of the cone IN ALL PLACES SIMULTANEOUSLY. And the tree will taper evenly on all sides.
Here's what it looks like in practice....
For example, you have only 54 columns in the first knitting circle (in the very bottom row of the future Christmas tree) - divide by 6 (these are sectors) - we get 9. So our sector consists of 9 columns.
And so we knit 4-5 rows just right with a crochet - without subtracting anything. Round. And then in the first subtractive row we knit EVERY NINTH AND EIGHTH COLUMN TOGETHER.
Then again we knit one row without decreasing.
Then in the second decreasing row - we still have the same most 6 sectors- but already in each sector we have not 9 columns, but only 8. And therefore we knit together every EIGHTH AND SEVENTH column.
Again we knit one row without decreases.
And in the third subtractive row - we already have only 7 columns in the sector. So we will knit together every SEVENTH AND SIXTH columns.
The principle of knitting a conical Christmas tree with your own hands, as you can see, is SIMPLE.
If you wish, you can use threads of different textures - fluffy, knotted - to get a pel with an interesting knit pile.
You can also alternate the color of the threads in each of the rows - dark green and light green.
Or you can knit not just STAINLESS (simple crochet stitches), but use a embossed CONVEX KNIT PATTERN - for example, CONES, as in the right photo below.
You can knit a Christmas tree WITH RELIEF - as in the photo below. Here the Christmas tree is knitted not from the bottom up, but from the top to the bottom. And as we see in the photo, the embossed circumferential RIBs appear on the Christmas tree because we, starting a new circular row, stick a hook not at the top of the bottom row, and to the base (bottom) of this row or even to the previous row. And the row itself remains sticking out above the surface of the knitted Christmas tree.
At the end of the work, you can decorate a knitted Christmas tree with beads or beads. Just pulling them through the knitting on a thread with a needle. Here's how it's done in the crochet Christmas tree photo below.
How to make a TIGHT BOTTOM
at a Christmas tree knitted with a cone.
When you tie the cone, you will need to crochet the ROUND FLAT BOTTOM of our knitted Christmas tree. It is knitted simply in a circle - with the addition of columns evenly - one at a time in 6 sectors of knitting.
To add a table - you just need to knit one and one more column into one loop of the bottom row.
The knitted round bottom of the Christmas tree needs to be reinforced with cardboard so that it does not bend with a ball. So that the Christmas tree keeps a flat, even shape of the bottom at the bottom.
After working with the bottom, we fill the Christmas tree with padding polyester or cotton wool and sew the bottom - along the edges of the cone - with a hook or a needle.
What else can be done
with cone tree
(lace crochet).
But that's not all the work. Perhaps you don’t like the too straight and smooth surface of the conical Christmas tree - then let's TIE IT with crochet lace - colored threads.
Here in the photo below you see that the finished cone of a knitted Christmas tree already stuffed with padding polyester was taken and BOUND in red and white circular rows.
How it's done?
We take in hand the finished conical Christmas tree - already thick, stuffed with cotton wool. Hook. And a ball of red thread. We stick the hook into the side of the Christmas tree (in any row, any place). And with the end of the hook that looked out of the Christmas tree, we PICK UP THE RED THREAD from our ball. They picked it up and stretched it out - and went to knit in a circle - picking up our Christmas tree by the side. along the selected row. We picked up and knitted a column, picked it up and knitted it - we go in a circle around the side of the Christmas tree - and we get a red strapping with columns - as in the photo above.
We repeat the same with WHITE threads in another row of the conical Christmas tree.
Lace tying of a cone herringbone
(tied with petals).
According to exactly the same principle (as described above), the LACE STRING of the conical Christmas tree is made in the photo below.
Here, too, at first they made straight conical silhouettes of Christmas trees, stuffed them with padding polyester, and then picked up a hook and thread. They stuck the hook into the side of the finished Christmas tree - in any row - and began to tie it with single crochets (first row), walking along the selected row of the cone Christmas tree. And then this harness again in a circle already with PETALS - where 6 columns with a crochet are immediately knitted into one loop - and it turns out beautiful round petal (spruce foot). Between the petals we knit one small stringless column.
And the DENSITY OF LACE STRING can be different. That is, here pictured above between the lace petal rows, the body of the cone itself shines through - that is, the lace trim is done in every 7th row of the cone
And here - pictured below - lacy rows are more tightly heaped together - so that the cone is not visible and it seems that the whole Christmas tree consists of petals. Here, lace tying is done in every 4 rows of the cone.
You can tie the lace petals only at the bottom of the Christmas tree - as is done on the New Year's crochet crafts from the photo below.
And pay attention to the lace petals on the cone Christmas tree can be placed with a CHESS.
And you can only do THREE ROWS OF BINDING as in the photo below. And fill the empty aisle with bright beads and curly sequins.
And one more thing I want to draw your attention ...
Ears-petals can be of various shapes. The more columns we knit in one hole of the row, the wider and sagging “ear” we get from a crocheted Christmas tree. Here in the photo below we see a lace ear in 12 columns, and double-threaded high.
Your ears-paws may even be too big and spread out. Overshadowing the conical base itself with its size. And then your Christmas tree may look like this - as in the photo below. Here, each row of strapping also has an EDGE with gold threads - just strapping with single crochets - along the edge openwork pawed rows.
And on crocheted Christmas trees, the ears can have a DIFFERENT SHAPE - for example, pointed as in the photo below. The knitting pattern for a patterned lace clove can be BORED from the pattern of any crocheted snowflake. Our website has article on knitted snowflakes - it will do, there are many simple schemes.
And IN THE SAME WAY, you can make just such a Christmas tree - the photo below. See? Here the rows of petal strapping (green threads) alternate with rows lace strapping(white threads).
- Here, first we knit a green simple cone - the basis of the future Christmas tree. According to the method that is described at the very beginning of the article.
- Then we fill the cone with cotton wool, knit the flat bottom of the Christmas tree - close the bottom of the Christmas tree (see the master class above).
- And after that, with green threads, we knit the PETAL BINDING of the Christmas tree in 6 rows (in a circle), evenly distributed along the height of the cone.
- And then between the petal rows we make a LACE WHITE strapping with openwork pattern of your choice.
You see - how interesting. The same way CONE CHRISTMAS HOOK - can give such a variety of options for knitted Christmas trees.
Christmas tree crochet master class
PETAL FABRIC METHOD.
And here's another one beautiful way tie a Christmas tree with embossed round petals. Here knitting does not go in a circle.
Here we first create a triangular canvas - which we fold into a conical bag, form a Christmas tree.
Here is a master class showing the principle of knitting such a fabric. This lesson uses a small canvas, just a few petals - for a very small Christmas tree. Of course, you can choose the number of tiers of the Christmas tree yourself, and based on this, decide what size of canvas is needed for this.
Here is the principle of work. The first stage, we simply create a narrow grid - this will be the base for which the first row of petals will catch on. A chain of airs - and on it columns with a crochet. The columns go with alternation - two columns in a row, then one air (we skip from the bottom and make one crochet from above), again two columns in a row, and again we skip one air from above and below.
And now we will knit the first petal row. In those places where we had two columns close - between them, in this narrow gap, we knit a petal - we simply knit 12-14 columns into this gap - and they themselves move apart from tightness in a circle, forming a round petal.
Further (photo below) over this first petal row we knit again a row of the same base grid (as from the first photo) - two columns next to each other and between them we skip air loop from above, and from below we skip the loop of the bottom row.
And again, in this new base mesh, we knit the petals in the same way - into each gap between standing next to columns.
As the rows move to the top of the tree, the canvas should narrow. Therefore, in each row (or in every second row) of our canvas, we must knit one petal less. To do this, the base grid for this reduced row must be made shorter by one pair of columns - from the edge.
Christmas tree crochet
Knitted rectangles.
And here is another tricky way to crochet ears-paws near the Christmas tree. Here they will rectangular shape.
Here, each petal is a RECTANGLE, crocheted. First we knit an AIR CHAIN of 7 loops + 2 on the hem - along which 7 single crochets are knitted, then a turn in the return and another row of 7 columns, again a turn in the return and another row of 7 columns. And from the same place where our hook stopped with a loop on it, WE AGAIN MAKE A CHAIN OF AIR from 7 loops + 2 on the rise, and repeat the same rows of 7 columns along it - back and forth.
And in the end, we have in our hands a garland of rectangular petals - as in the photo below.
By the same principle, one can connect long narrow petals for the Christmas tree. Here we knit a longer chain of airs - and we knit only one row of columns along it. It turns out a shaggy crocheted Christmas tree panicle.
CHRISTMAS Puff
How to crochet.
Puff method No. 1 - FROM CONES.
You can tie a Christmas tree and here's how. Take threads of two shades of green and tie several cones - first a small one (for the top), then a larger cone, even larger in size, and more and more. With color alternation. After that, we simply put the cones on top of each other - like a pyramid - and we get such a crocheted puff Christmas tree (as in the photo below). You can leave even edges at the cones, or you can tie the edges of each cone with wavy lace (alternating columns with two crochets (in the petal) and columns without crochets (between the petals).
Puff method number 2 - from pancakes.
In the same technique of the PUFF CHRISTMAS, you can use not cones - but flat "pancakes" crochet. Like these ones. We knit several of them - each one is slightly larger in size than the previous one.
And then we collect a Christmas tree from them by folding them in a pile - from large to small. Some knitted pancakes can be made from white threads, and then you get the effect of the fastened paws of a Christmas tree.
Puff method No. 3 - FROM RINGS.
We can also make a layered Christmas tree ring binding method. We tie the rings with a hook - we work with them as if we had a ring in our hands not made of plastic, but a familiar chain air loops, closed in a circle.
Rings do not have to be different sizes. You can take the same rings, but tie each with a different number of rows of columns.
Then all the rings are assembled on a rod (a pencil, also tied with single crochets).
Or you can simply put all the rings on top of each other - fix it with threads (sew the ring to each other). And put the bottom hole on the bottle cap - like in the picture below.
And you can add a snowy white trim around the edges of the rounds and the top part of the knitted Christmas tree. Get the effect of snow.
Puff method No. 4 - CURLY.
We all know how to knit curly pancakes. It's simple. If, when knitting a pancake in a circle, add not the prescribed number of columns, but twice as much, then our pancake will begin to curl around the edges - to give a wave. And this is good. This is another way to crochet a beautiful Christmas tree.
The more you add columns in a circle, the steeper the wave will be along the edge of your knitting. 
These curly pancakes can be assembled into a curly Christmas tree. The beginning of these pancakes can be FLAT, or can be in the form of a cone (as in the photo below). You see - each pancake has a convex middle in the form of a cap. This is because at first we knitted a cone (we added few columns in a circle), and then we sharply increased the number of columns and our knitting became flat in a circle (like hat brim), and then curled up in a steep wave.
Then we dress these curly pancakes in a Christmas tree. In order for the tree to have a strong core, you can insert a solid object into the bulge of each pancake (the neck of a bottle, a medicine cap - that is, give a solid filling to our pimp tops.
Very lush Christmas trees are obtained if you make a lot of additional columns and many layers of such twisted pancakes.
The herringbone pattern is one of the most versatile knitting techniques. It is suitable for all wardrobe items, from mittens to coats, goes well with other patterns, can serve as a good background for decorative elements, and with the right choice of size and colors creates a self-contained geometric pattern. As a rule, this ornament is associated with winter things, but it also looks good in easy version from fine threads. There are several different options knitting a herringbone pattern with knitting needles, which are distinguished by their complexity and delicacy.
Easy option
The easiest to make herringbone pattern is a one-sided pattern that resembles tweed fabric. A description of this technique can be seen below.
When using thick threads with this pattern, you can knit a dense warm scarf or hat, it is great for knitting sweaters and coats.
If you want to complicate the task a little, you can use threads of several colors, a gradient looks good on this pattern, as well as vertical or horizontal contrasting stripes. A distinctive feature of these "herringbones" is the use of any number of loops. Pattern repeat - two rows.
In the first row, two loops should be tied behind the back walls together with one front loop. Then one of these loops is removed from the knitting needle, leaving the second. Then, in the same way, you need to knit the next two loops, moreover, one of them is the one that remains from the previous pair. Thus, the entire first row is knitted.
In the second row, knitting continues in the same pattern, with one exception - two loops are tied together from the wrong side, and not from the front.
Oblique "herringbone"
This version of the pattern is also created using only front and back loops, but the pattern is double-sided in the end, so it is well suited for creating scarves and snoods. The rapport of this pattern is 10 loops and 20 rows. All even rows must be knitted according to the pattern, odd - in accordance with the scheme, strictly observing the sequence of loops.
In order to turn a scarf knitted in such a technique into a snood, it is imperative to knit the rapport of the pattern to the end, then when the ends of the product are connected, the “Christmas trees” will match. Snood should be connected with a knitted seam, which with such a pattern will be invisible.
Products decorated with such an ornament look strict and restrained, so the "Christmas trees" can be used in both men's and women's clothing.
Openwork option
The openwork "herringbone" looks better from thin threads, thanks to which the airiness and lightness of the pattern are preserved. This fabric is suitable for berets, light scarves, pullovers and cardigans. Pattern repeat - 18 loops and 12 rows. The second and all subsequent even rows must be knitted with ordinary purl loops. If you want to increase the "Christmas trees", their number can increase proportionally.
The “herringbones” in this pattern are formed by yarn overs and facial loops, the “trunks” form three loops knitted together from the wrong side, the remaining fabric is knitted from the wrong side. The "trunk" of each Christmas tree in rapport remains in one place - the tenth loop, and the "branches" form a triangle, tapering upwards.
The first row is knitted from one front loop, nakida, two front, five purl. Then three loops follow, knitted together from the wrong side, five more wrong ones, two front ones and one yarn over.
In the third and subsequent odd rows, the yarns are gradually, one loop at a time, shifted to the center of the rapport. In addition, the number of purl loops is reduced, the 11th row is knitted only with facial, crochets and three purl-related.
Difficult terrain
A more complex version of the pattern - embossed "Christmas trees" - is knitted on four knitting needles. Such a pattern is suitable for warm voluminous sweaters and hats; when knitting with thin threads, the pattern will not keep its shape. Rapport - 6 loops and 8 rows.
In the first four rows, the elements of the pattern will be tilted to the right, in the next - to the left, thus slightly beveled triangles will be formed. Knitting is done in a circle. On two knitting needles, you need to dial the number of loops in a classic set, a multiple of 12. The base is knitted with front loops, they are distributed over four knitting needles, while pulling up the loops so that they are more dense.
In the first row, three loops should be knitted, two more - crossed (behind the front walls). This is followed by yarn over and one simple front loop. After that, the rapport is repeated. In the second row, you need to tie two front ones, followed by two front crossed ones. Then you should make a yarn over and knit two more loops with facial ones. The third row starts with one face. Then - two together with one facial crossed (also behind the front walls). The row ends with one crochet and three ordinary facial loops.
In the fourth row, first knit two together for the front walls of the front crossed, then yarn over and knit four front ones. From the fifth row, the elements of the pattern should lean to the left. In this row, one regular knit is knitted, then a crochet is made, and after it two loops are knitted along with a broach. In order to tie such a loop, you need to remove the first one, knit the next front one (behind the back wall), and then reshoot the first of them through the second one. Next, three facial ones are knitted (each of them is already behind the front wall).
In the sixth row, two facial knit, make a crochet. After they knit two together with a broach, they complete a row of three ordinary facial ones. In the seventh row, you need to knit three facial ones, double crochet and knit two together with a broach. The row ends with two facial ones. In the eighth row, four knits are knitted, then a yarn over follows, two together with a broach, and the row ends with one knit. This completes the rapport. In the process of knitting on four knitting needles, you will periodically have to remove the loops from one to the other, therefore, when making this pattern, it is especially important not to get confused in the loops and not knock down the pattern.
