Let us start …

Needed materials :   1. Yarn - YarnArt Jeans in colors: light green, green, brown and different colors for the circles (your choice). 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Crochet hook 2.0 or 2.2 mm Stuffing material (sintepon, holofiber) Scissors, big eye needle for joining parts Coins or glass granules A piece of plastic in diameter of the bottom of the tree

Abbreviations : MR – magic/amigurumi ring sc - single crochet stitch (the number indicates the number of sc) ch – chain stitch inc - increase = 2 stitches in one stitch dec - decrease = 2 stitches together sl st – slip stitch dc – double crochet stitch

Treetop MAKE 2 1 row : in green    crochet 6 sc in a MR = 6 sc   2 row: (inc)* 6 times = 12 sc  3 row: (inc, 1 sc)* 6 times = 18 sc  4 row: 1 sc , inc , (2 sc , inc) * 5 times, 1 sc = 24 sc   5 row: (3 sc , inc)* 6 times = 30 sc   6 row: 2 sc , inc , (4 sc , inc) * 5 times, 2 sc = 36 sc   7 row: (5 sc , inc)* 6 times = 42 sc   8 row: 3 sc , inc , (6 sc , inc)* 5 times, 3 sc = 48 sc +5 sc + 2 slst for row transfer.   9 row: now we will need to add 2 pieces as shown in the photo and crochet at the same time the 2 parts in the following sequence:  3 sc, inc, (7 sc, inc) * 4 times, 5 sc. We do not crochet the last 7 sc to the end. We left them for the tree trunk.  

10 row: in order to give a relief shape to the crown of the tree, we crochet it around the following sequence: 3 dc in the same stitch, 3sc and repeat around to the end.

But pay attention on the stitches of the hole that we will crochet  ONLY IN THE FRONT LOOPS, then continue as usual.  The photo below shows this point: 

Then we turn the part and crochet along the hole for the trunk ONLY IN THE FRONT LOOPS. Thus, the front and back of the tree will have a lush border.   

Trunk   1 row: 15 sc with brown yarn in the BACK LOOPS ONLY along the opening, then we crochet in a spiral. 2-9 row: 15 sc, close the row, cut the thread. Stuff the trunk. For the tree, that he can stand alone, we use coins or glass granules.

Bottom 1 row: brown yarn    crochet 6 sc in a MR = 6 sc    2 row: (inc)* 6 times = 12 sc  3 row: (3 sc, inc )*3 times = 15 sc , do not cut the thread.   4 row: join the bottom and trunk of the tree together. We crochet at the same time these two parts (4 sc , inc)* 3 times = 18 sc  

To decorate the tree, we use 3 or 4 circles in different colors and diameters. 

Circle size 1

1 row: crochet in a MR 6sc = 6 sc   2 row: (inc)* 6 times = 12 sc  3 row: (inc, 1 sc)* 6 = 18 sc  4 row: 1 sc , inc , (2 sc , inc)* 5 times, 1 sc = 24 sc   5 row: (3 sc , inc)* 6 times = 30 sc   6 row: 2 sc , inc , (4 sc , inc)* 5 times , 2 sc = 36 sc

Circle size 2 1 row: crochet in a MR 6sc = 6 sc  2 row: (inc)* 6 times = 12 sc   3 row: (inc, 1 sc)* 6 = 18 sc 4 row: 1 sc , inc , (2 sc , inc)* 5 times, 1 sc = 24 sc  5 row: (3 sc , inc)* 6 times = 30 sc  

Circle

size 3

1 row: crochet in a MR 6sc = 6 sc 2 row: (inc)* 6 times = 12 sc   3 row: (inc, 1 sc)* 6 = 18 sc

For all the details of the circles, close the row, cut the thread. I recommend for sewing on circles with ordinary sewing thread, so the work will look more neat.  I sewed the circles with the back side of the circle to the tree. 

Done !
