Fasten off and weave in ends
Arms and Legs: Make 2 of each
Arms work in green yarn, legs work in brown yarn.
Chain 5, SC in in second chain from hook and in next two, make 2 SC in last chain,
now working on other side of chain, SC in each stitch. You should have 9 SC stitches all together.
Don’t fasten off. Continue to SC in rounds.
I made a total of 6 rounds for the arms and 9 rounds for the legs. Feel free to make them as long or short as you like.
Add your safety eyes and stitch on a small smile with black yarn to one of the sides of your tree body.
Now put your tree triangles back to back and SC the edges together. Be sure to stuff it with poly-fil before completely closing.
Now sew the arms and legs on. No need to stuff them with filling but you can if you want.
Star Pattern:
With yellow yarn…
Magic ring, chain 1, make 10 SC in magic ring, join to first SC (10 SC)
Round 2: Chain 1, 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next stitch, repeat around, join to first SC (15 SC)
Round 3: Chain 5, SC in second chain from hook, HDC in next stitch, DC in next, TR in next. Now you have made one of the points of the star. Skip two stitches and join with a slip stitch. Now Chain 5 and repeat process until you have all 5 points.
Fasten off and sew onto top of tree.For an added embellishment, include Christmas light buttons and sew them on with black yarn! I found mine at Michaels Craft Store in their holiday craft display but the ones below are very similar!
Have a very cuddly Christmas!
