Tunisian Tree Motif
Tunisian simple stitch gives these tunisian tree motifs their subtle texture. If you’ve never tried tunisian crochet before, this might be a good project to start with, because you don’t need a special tunisian crochet hook for this one. I especially love how tunisian crochet gives these trees nicer looking edges than regular crochet would. Perfect for a Christmas ornament!

Mini Christmas Trees
I’m a big fan of the loop stitch for recreating the look of fur, or for adding short fringe. I never would have thought to use the loop stitch to recreate the branches on a tree, but I have to admit that it serves this purpose quite well! The loop stitch is an easy one to master after you’ve got the foundation down.

Christmas Tree Potholder
Tapestry crochet yields clean and crisp colorwork. Carrying the unused strand of yarn along with you also serves to thicken and stiffen the pot holder and reduce the holes between stitches to virtual nonexistence. The result is equal parts pretty and practical – just what you need in the kitchen for the hectic holidays!
