Christmas Tree

When I saw this Christmas Tree in blog land, I knew I had to make one.  The free pattern in here, but I varied my using single crochet instead of half double crochet. I do like how it turned out and I hope my recipients will enjoy these trees as a Christmas gift.

This is how I made my trees, I used a G hook and worsted type yarn. gauge is not that important and can play around with different types of yarns. I would like to try this out using an eyelash yarn.
