Pine Tree

 

 
This little pine is a no sew, fast and easy project on its own but we can also add the star and turn it into a christmas tree for the ocasion.

For the bigger tree I used worsted weight yarn and a 4,5 mm hook and for the smaller one Dk yarn and 3 mm hook. We'll need yarn in green 12 g, brown 5 g, and some yellow for the star in case you want to make it christmassy, a bit of pink for the cheeks and embroidery floss, we'll aso need 6 mm safety eyes, stuffing and tapestry neede.

The little pine (without the star) will be about 8 cm / 3,15 inch and the big pine about 10 cm /3,93 inch.



ABBREVIATIONS (U.S.):

R: round
ch: chain
inc: increase
**: repeat to the end of round
(...) x...: repeat the inside of parentheses according to the indicated number, example: (...) x2
[...] total stitches at the end of round



TRUNK:

With brown.

R1: 6 sc in mr
R2: *sc inc* [12]
R3: *1 sc, sc inc* [18]
R4: *2 sc, sc inc* [24]
R5: back loop only 24 sc [24]
R6-10: 24 sc [24]

Break yarn leaving a short tail, tie off.

Place the eyes between R7-8 about two stitches apart. For the cheeks, with pink yarn, make a horizontal line to the side of each eye between R6-7 and with embroidery floss make a little mouth between R5-7.

 

 
TREE:

With green.

After R1 work every round on the back loop.

R1: 6 sc in mr
R2: *1 sc, sc inc* [9]
R3: *2 sc, sc inc* [12]
R4: 12 sc [12]
R5: *1 sc, sc inc* [18]
R6: 18 sc [18]
R7: *2 sc, sc inc* [24]
R8: 24 sc [24]

We'll work R9 attaching to the trunk so, align the last stitch of the trunk with the first stitch of the tree round and work R9 insterting the hook on both the back loop of the tree piece and the front loop of the trunk piece. Before finishing the round make sure to stuff.

R9: *3 sc, sc inc* [30]

Work this next round as you usually would, remember to keep working on the back loops.

R10: 30 sc [30]

Now to make the little ruffles for the leaves:
3 ch, turn your work, skip the last stitch you worked and place a sl st on the front loop of the next stitch, then we'll repeat 3 ch, skip 1 stitch and sl st on the next front loop all around the piece until you get to the top of the tree.

 


 
STAR:

With yellow.

R1: 5 sc in mr, sl st on first stitch
R2: (2 ch, 1 sl st on chain, 1 sl st on next st of the mr) x5

Break yarn leaving enough for sewing.
