Start
Chain 40 + 1 turning chain (make loose chains or use a hook half a size larger).
Row 1
Starting in the 2nd chain from hook: sc across (40). Fasten off.
Row 2
(3 sc in each st) 10x
(3 hdc in each st) 10x
(3 dc in each st) 10x
(3 tr in each st) 10x
→ Total: 120 stitches.
Row 3
Start again where you began Row 2.
(2 sc in each st) 20x
(2 hdc in each st) 20x
(2 dc in each st) 30x
(2 tr in each st) 30x
(2 dtr in each st) 20x
→ Total: 240 stitches (don’t worry if your count is slightly off).
Fasten off, leaving a long green end.
Row 4
With white yarn: sc in each stitch around (240).
Assembly & Finishing
Weave in all ends except the long white and green threads.
Stack the spirals on top of each other and sew the bottom together with the white thread, attaching each snowy edge to the one above.
Use the long green thread to sew along the side of the tree, securing it all the way to the top.
Attach the star bead at the very top.
If making the standing version, fix the tree to a skewer placed in a tea light holder. For the hanging version, add nylon thread or fishing line for easy display.
