Happy New Year!


Preparing for new year holidays now in full swing. Every time we are happy to take out a box with Christmas decorations and our house is filled with the unique atmosphere of a fabulous celebration!

Let's complete our collection new year ideas and make with our own hands a beautiful and sincere toy - a fluffy Christmas tree. To complete it, you do not need a large number time, incredible skills and expensive materials, and our detailed master class will help you in your work!

So let's get to work!

We will need:
skein of green thread
crochet hook in the right size for them
sewing needle.

First row: we knit a chain of air loops desired length (this will be the width of the base of the future Christmas tree). We knitted 25 loops.
Second row: we knit single crochets into the loops of the previous row.
Third row (elongated loops): wrap the index finger of the left hand working thread clockwise…

... and insert the hook into the column of the previous row. We grab the thread from the ball from the index finger and knit a single crochet. We remove the loop from the index finger. We repeat the steps, throwing a new loop.


Important: working with elongated loops, we knit the purl rows. Starting each such row, insert the hook into the second column of the previous row (second photo in the top row), and ending the row, leave the last column untied (first photo in the bottom row).
We knit two such fluffy triangles and sew them together with a matching thread - we get a two-sided Christmas tree toy!

Knitted Christmas tree.

For knitting and decorating the Christmas tree, we need: Yarn Art Christmas yarn (2-2.5 skeins of 50 g each, depending on how high your Christmas tree will be), hooks (I used a 1.9 hook for the cone-shaped base of the Christmas tree and knitting bottom and hook 2.25 for knitting Christmas tree branches), synthetic filler, old unnecessary disk, rhinestones, ribbons, sequins, large bead and other types of decoration materials.

So let's start.

1 row: we make a sliding loop and we knit 3 air loops and 9 CCH (columns with crochets) into it.

Attention: from the second row, knit CCH not under the entire loop of the chain of the previous row, but under the back wall, so that lines appear along the canvas.

2 row - knit in a circle 3 air loops * CCH, 2CCH in the next loop * 5 times from * to * and then another CCH in the same loop, from where 3 air loops \u003d 16 CCH.

3 row - 3 air loops, * 2 dc in the next loop, dc, dc * and then dc in the same loop, from where 3 air => 21 dc

4 row - 3 air loops, CCH in each loop, connect.

We continue to knit the Christmas tree cone as follows:

5 row - 3 air loops, * CCH, CCH, 2CCH in the next loop * so alternate and then CCH in the same loop, from where 3 air loops and connect => 28 CCH.

6 row - 3 air loops, CCH in each loop.

7 row - 3 air loops, * CCH, CCH, CCH, 2CCH into a loop *, and alternate and then CCH into the same loop, from where 3 air loops and connect => 35 CCH.

8 row - 3 air loops, CCH in each loop.

9 row -3 air loops, * CCH, CCH, CCH, CCH, 2CCH into a loop *, and alternate and then CCH into the same loop, from where 3 air loops and connect => 42 CCH.

10 row - 3 air loops, CCH in each loop.

11 row - 3 air loops, * CCH, CCH, CCH, CCH, CCH, 2CCH into a loop *, and alternate and then CCH into the same loop, from where 3 air loops and connect => 49 CCH.

12 row - 3 air loops, CCH in each loop.

13 row -3 air loops, * CCH, CCH, CCH, CCH, CCH, CCH, 2CCH into a loop *, and alternate and then CCH into the same loop, from where 3 air loops and connect => 56 CCH.

14 row - knit according to the pattern CCH to the end of the row.

15 row - 3 air loops, * CCH, CCH, CCH, CCH, CCH, CCH, CCH, 2CCH into a loop *, and alternate and then CCH into the same loop, from where to connect 3 air loops => 63 CCH.

16 row -3 air loops, CCH in each loop.

17 row - similarly add 7 loops evenly => 70 dc.

18 row - knit according to the CCH pattern to the end of the row.

19 row - similarly add 7 loops evenly => 77 dc.

20 row and 21 row - knit according to the pattern CCH to the end of the row.

22 row - similarly add 7 loops evenly => 84 dc.

23 row - knit according to the CCH pattern to the end of the row.

Those. if you paid attention, from the 5th row, almost constantly increase in 7 loops through the row. The number of loops is always a multiple of 7, so the increase is uniform. I brought increases to 23 rows. if you need a taller Christmas tree, then similarly you can continue as much as you like :). As a result, we get a cone-blank for knitting twigs.

Let's start tying the branches.

Branches consist of 2 rows. We will impose them on every third row of the cone-shaped base. The first branch is knitted on the second line from the top of the Christmas tree. Please note that in the first row we knit columns with 2 crochets. This is necessary so that our branches overlap the base of the cone as much as possible, i.e. we, due to the columns with 2 crochets in the first row of branches, make the branches longer.

1 row - knit for the front walls of the 2nd row of the cone. Join with a connecting post to any loop of the 2nd row of the cone, * 3 chain loops, CC2H, 3 chain loops, 2CC2H * in the same loop, 1 chain loop, skip the next 2 loops and again knit * 2CC2H, 3 chain loops , 2СС2Н, 1 air loop * and knit such a shell through 2 loops to the third to the end, join with a connecting column to the top of the column of 3 air loops. The result should be 6 shells.

2nd row - connect with the arch (we move to the arch with connecting loops) and knit * 3СН, 3 picot from it ( appearance it will be like a card cross), 3 CCH, 1 air loop *, from the next arch the same and so on until the end of the row, break the thread.

Here in the photo you can see how we knit the first row of branches

Thus, the first row of branches is ready. Now we cut the thread and on the wrong side we lower it with a hook to the base and pull it out together with the thread of the beginning of work inside out, we fix it there.

We skip 2 rows of the base of the cone and on the third we begin to knit twigs again.

Only when knitting the 2nd and subsequent rows of branches, I knit * through 2 loops into the third, through 2 loops into the third, through 3 into the fourth *, so alternating. Because if you always knit through 2 to the third, then you are too worried. But that's how you like it. You can choose for yourself.

As a result, we already get a Christmas tree without a bottom.

Let's start knitting the bottom:

The bottom for the Christmas tree is a flat circle. We start with 6 RLS and continue according to the rules of a flat circle. We increase the number of loops to the required one (in our case, 84 loops, because there are 84 loops in the warping of the cone) and then we knit another 1-2 rows of 84 sc without increasing the number of loops.

The diameter of the flat circle will be approximately the diameter of the disk. This is how it works for me. If your knitting density is different, then you can always either reduce the disk in diameter, or cut a circle from a plastic folder, which we will then sew to the base for a more stable position of the Christmas tree.

When the flat circle is ready from the wrong side, we attach a disk or a plastic circle with connecting loops (we insert a hook under the chain of the flat circle and the chain of the base of the cone, grab the thread and pull it through all the loops and so repeat in a circle). We unite the circle and our Christmas tree. Do not make connections to the very end, because. We still need to fill the Christmas tree with synthetic filler. Therefore, when about 1/5 remains, I fill the tree with synthetic filler and then attach the bottom base to the tree to the very end.

I usually decorate with reps or satin ribbons, sequins, sewn-on rhinestones.

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 the most different Christmas trees. Let's start gradually - first the most simple 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 onto 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 are starting a new circular row, sticking 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 EDging 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 rows of petal binding (green threads) alternate with rows of lace binding (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 side by side and between them we skip the 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 PUFF CHRISTMAS technique, you can use not cones - but flat "pancakes" crocheted. 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 of air loops closed in a circle.

Rings don't 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.

Knitted Christmas tree pendants

Like crochet Christmas decorations.

You can crochet small flat Christmas trees. Decorate them with beads, rhinestones, sequins and sew a loop on top so that such a hand-knitted Christmas tree can be hung on a spruce branch.

A flat herringbone can be DOUBLE-LAYER - have a front detail and a back detail. The parts sewn together give a cavity between themselves, which can be filled with cotton wool or padding polyester - you get a plump crocheted Christmas tree (as in the photo below).

The direction of knitting can be straight - as in the diagram above. Or we can knit oblique symmetry of the rows. To do this, we simply change the direction of the row in the middle of the tree - along its central axis, as in the photo below.

We begin to knit such a Christmas tree - from the bottom up. We crochet a leg - just 6 airs + 2 to climb to a new row. Then the 2nd row - 6 columns, and the 3rd row - 6 columns. It turned out the leg of the Christmas tree in the shape of a rectangle

Then you need to make a SEMICIRCLE on this leg (in the form of a mushroom cap). Just knit half a circle - the center of the circle will be the middle of our just connected leg. This half circle will set the direction for all other rows of the Christmas tree- will make these rows break in the center - on 2 slopes of the Christmas tree.

A simple crochet Christmas tree made of thick aluminum wire. From aluminum wire we twist the shape of the SNAKE in the form of a Christmas tree. And we tie it with a crochet - just single crochets. As if our wire is the first row of knitting, and we just crochet it under the bottom. Nothing complicated.

An excellent exercise for children who are just learning to hold a hook in their hands - it is much more convenient for children to knit on a wire - it is solid, it is convenient to hold it in their hands and children quickly get used to knitting on such a comfortable simulator. Without psychos and hysterics.

Here are some ideas for those who want to crochet a Christmas tree with their own hands. Now you can choose a task that is feasible for your hands, suitable for the number of threads and time costs.

Good luck with your work and a clever hook.

Happy New Year to the author of this article, Olga Klishevskaya.

The time has come for active preparation for the most fabulous and magical holiday, which both adults and children expect - New Year! Today we offer you to tie a wonderful souvenir Christmas tree. This Christmas tree is perfect for decorating the interior, and for a gift. The author of the master class is Yulia Kuznetsova.

For knitting and decorating the Christmas tree, we need:

  • yarn "Yarn Art Christmas" (2-2.5 skeins of 50 g each, depending on how high your Christmas tree will be),
  • hooks (I used a 1.9 hook for the conical base of the Christmas tree and knitting the bottom and a 2.25 hook for knitting Christmas tree branches),
  • synthetic filler,
  • old junk disk
  • rhinestones,
  • tapes,
  • sequins,
  • large bead
  • and other types of decoration materials.

How to crochet a Christmas tree:

1 row: we make a sliding loop and we knit 3 air loops and 9 CCH (columns with crochets) into it.

Attention: from the second row, knit CCH not under the entire loop of the chain of the previous row, but under the back wall, so that lines appear along the canvas.

2 row - knit in a circle 3 air loops * CCH, 2CCH in the next loop * 5 times from * to * and then another CCH in the same loop, from where 3 air loops \u003d 16 CCH.

3 row - 3 air loops, * 2 dc in the next loop, dc, dc * and then dc in the same loop, from where 3 air => 21 dc
4 row - 3 air loops, CCH in each loop, connect.

We continue to knit the Christmas tree cone as follows:

5 row - 3 air loops, * CCH, CCH, 2CCH in the next loop * so alternate and then CCH in the same loop, from where 3 air loops and connect => 28 CCH.

17 row - similarly add 7 loops evenly => 70 dc.
18 row - knit according to the CCH pattern to the end of the row.
19 row - similarly add 7 loops evenly => 77 dc.
20 row and 21 row - knit according to the pattern CCH to the end of the row.
22 row - similarly add 7 loops evenly => 84 dc.
23 row - knit according to the CCH pattern to the end of the row.

Those. if you paid attention, from the 5th row, almost constantly increase in 7 loops through the row. The number of loops is always a multiple of 7, so the increase is uniform. I brought increases to 23 rows. if you need a taller Christmas tree, then similarly you can continue as much as you like. As a result, we get a cone-blank for knitting twigs.

Let's start tying twigs

Branches consist of 2 rows. We will impose them on every third row of the cone-shaped base. The first branch is knitted on the second line from the top of the Christmas tree. Please note that in the first row we knit columns with 2 crochets. This is necessary so that our branches overlap the base of the cone as much as possible, i.e. we, due to the columns with 2 crochets in the first row of branches, make the branches longer.

1 row - knit for the front walls of the 2nd row of the cone. Join with a connecting post to any loop of the 2nd row of the cone, * 3 chain loops, CC2H, 3 chain loops, 2CC2H * in the same loop, 1 chain loop, skip the next 2 loops and again knit * 2CC2H, 3 chain loops , 2СС2Н, 1 air loop * and knit such a shell through 2 loops to the third to the end, join with a connecting column to the top of the column of 3 air loops. The result should be 6 shells.

2 row - connect with the arch (we move to the arch with connecting loops) and knit * 3 dc, 3 picot from it (the appearance will be like a card cross), 3 dc, 1 air loop *, from the next arch the same and so on until the end of the row , break the thread.

The photo shows how we knit the first row of branches.

And here is the second row:

Thus, the first row of branches is ready. Now we cut the thread and on the wrong side we lower it with a hook to the base and pull it out together with the thread of the beginning of work inside out, we fix it there.
We skip 2 rows of the base of the cone and on the third we begin to knit twigs again.

Only when knitting the 2nd and subsequent rows of branches, I knit * through 2 loops into the third, through 2 loops into the third, through 3 into the fourth *, so alternating. Because if you always knit through 2 to the third, then you are too worried. But that's how you like it. You can choose for yourself.

As a result, we already get a Christmas tree without a bottom.

Let's start knitting the bottom:

The bottom for the Christmas tree is a flat circle. We start with 6 RLS and continue according to the rules of a flat circle. We increase the number of loops to the required one (in our case, 84 loops, because there are 84 loops in the warping of the cone) and then we knit another 1-2 rows of 84 sc without increasing the number of loops.

The diameter of the flat circle will be approximately the diameter of the disk. This is how it works for me. If your knitting density is different, then you can always either reduce the disk in diameter, or cut a circle from a plastic folder, which we will then sew to the base for a more stable position of the Christmas tree.

When the flat circle is ready from the wrong side, we attach a disk or a plastic circle with connecting loops (we insert a hook under the chain of the flat circle and the chain of the base of the cone, grab the thread and pull it through all the loops and so repeat in a circle). We unite the circle and our Christmas tree. Do not make connections to the very end, because. We still need to fill the Christmas tree with synthetic filler. Therefore, when about 1/5 remains, I fill the tree with synthetic filler and then attach the bottom base to the tree to the very end.

Here is such a Christmas tree obtained (photo without flash and with flash). Due to the texture of the yarn, it is beautiful and festive in itself. But of course you want to decorate it!

I usually decorate with rep or satin ribbons, sequins, sewn-on rhinestones.

Here are some more trees different color and different types of decoration:
