Winter is definitely here. I cleaned my garden and told her “Good Winter night” and on my way home I switched to the winter mood.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And as I was thinking about Christmas and Advent time I got the idea to crochet an unusual decorative tree. Not one but four of them and make it into an Advent Wreath. And there is the pattern for anyone who is decorating their homes for a Christmas soon to come.<\/p>\n
This tree is not crocheted in one piece. Before it is stiffen with starch it reminds a fan. A great advantage is that if anyone crochets loosely or tightly it actually does not matter. When you put it on a polystyrene cone either there is a small gap you can decorate with a ribbon afterwards or you can fold the opposite sites over each other when it is slightly bigger and still it will look great. DO NOT FORGET TO USE FLAMELESS CANDLES\u00a0(picture here<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Crochet Advent Trees<\/strong> For beginners<\/p>\n US terminology:<\/strong> <\/p>\n You are going to crochet a fan shape.<\/strong> Finish<\/strong>: That it is.\u00a0Please click on any advertisement or share<\/strong> this pattern on social networks as a \u201cthank you\u201d for this free pattern.<\/p>\n If you have any questions please leave me a message in a chat box or in the form on the webpage (called Kontaktn\u00ed formul\u00e1\u0159).

\nMC \u2013 Magic Circle
\nSl St \u2013 slip stitch
\nCH \u2013 chain stitch
\nSC \u2013 single crochet
\nDC \u2013 double crochet
\ntog – together
\nEach row starts with either 1 CH = Single Crochet or 2 CH = Double Crochet.<\/p>\n
\n1st row: 7 DC into MC, do not make a circle but with the 7th DC turn and continue back
\n2nd row: 2 DC into every second DC from the previous row, turn (11 DC)
\n3rd row: 2 DC into every second DC from the previous row, turn (17 DC)
\n4th row: 2 DCtog into first DC, 2 DCtog, skip one loop. Repeat. Turn. We established bases for six stripes.
\n5th row:\u00a02 DCtog into DC from the previous row, 2 DCtog, 1 CH. Repeat. Turn
\n6th row:\u00a02 DCtog into DC from the previous row, 2 DCtog, 2\u00a0CH. Repeat. Turn
\n7th row: 2 DCtog into DC from the previous row, 2 DCtog, 3\u00a0CH. Repeat. Turn
\n8th row: 2 DCtog into DC from the previous row, 2 DCtog, 4\u00a0CH. Repeat. Turn
\n9th row: 2 DCtog into DC from the previous row, 2 DCtog, 5\u00a0CH. Repeat. Turn
\n10th row: 2 DCtog into DC from the previous row, 2 DCtog, 6\u00a0CH. Repeat. Turn
\n11th row: 2 DCtog into DC from the previous row, 2 DCtog, 7\u00a0CH. Repeat. Turn
\n12th row: 3 DC into first loop, 4 DC into second loop (that is a shell of 7 DC), SC into 4th CH from the previous row. Repeat. Turn. That is the bases for a shell pattern which you can see on the bottom of the tree.
\n13th – 18th row: 4 DC into the first loop. SC in the fourth loop (that is in the middle of the shell), 7 DC into SC from the previous row. Repeat shell pattern. End with a SC. Turn.<\/p>\n
\nSoak the tree into the larch then put it on the polystyrene cone. Try to join the opposite ends, secure with pins, let it dry. Prepare a piece of lace and ribbon. Make a bow. Sew\/glue a button and then glue it to the top of the tree.<\/p>\n
