About Christmas Tree Tutorial
Quick Summary & Skill Level: Intermediate. The crochet Christmas tree is made in two main parts: five cone tiers (levels) and a separate cylinder trunk. Each of the five tiers is crocheted in the round, increasing in size from the top tier to the largest bottom tier.
Once the main layers are complete, a decorative border is added to the edge of each piece in white.
Each tier is folded and stitched to crochet a permanent wavy ruffle. The trunk is crocheted, and then hot silicone is applied to the interior base to make it flat and stable for standing.
