“O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!” Yes … I couldn’t resist singing this while crocheting :)
Here’s a little Christmas tree pattern for you, my friends. I made it with a series of combination back post treble crochet stitches. It may seem a little tricky at first, but I know you can do it. I called the stitch a “Fir stitch” for the sake of this pattern, but it may technically be called something else in the crochet world. Hope you enjoy it!
