The green tree sections need a combination of single crochet (sc) for height, increase, and decrease. The Shell Stitch border by worked in the round and color changes at the white edging.
The main edging needs a combination of single crochet, double crochet instead of cluster stitches. To maintain the edging shape, you will also use a combination of chain and single crochet for a picot texture.
To crochet the balm holder, you will also be using the BLO and the color changes. The crochet string pattern also needs the chain stitch.
Few Tips Before Starting: You can easily make this tiered tree amigurumi shorter or taller by adjusting the number of pieces – two are recommended, but three can also be used. There are two color versions to choose from: if you don’t want the green tree, use the shades like in the crochet rainbow Christmas tree.
