Hi everybody, I'm Mikey and this is part of the Advent Calendar Series
that is a crochet along. For those working on the crochet along with me every few days a new video will be available to advance
you to the next part of your project.
There are 15 tutorials in all to complete today's project.
If you're finding this and the crochet along is done all videos will stay up indefinitely. In the more information of this video you'll find
a link to the playlist where all the tutorials will be listed in order for you to play along. The entire pattern is now available
for free. For those who don't need a video
refer to the video description to get redirected to the pattern. So in the meantime let's begin with today's tutorial to advance you to the
next step and of course wishing you the very best of the festive season ahead.
So let's move along in the project.
We're going to do the Christmas Tree here today, and we're also going to do the star.
So we're gonna do both of these. This is number two of the crochet along. For this one
you're also going to need your buttons because we're gonna apply our buttons at the end in order to do this.
So let's take a look back at the pattern first
and then I'm gonna show you what you need to do in order to complete the tree.
So on page number two is the tree section 1, 2 and 3 and then we get go and do the start just like you
see here. So what's gonna happen is that we're actually starting this tree upside down. So you have to look at this tree from this
upside down perspective, and there's a repeat of different
Instructions just like you see here
and we're gonna go through those and it says to repeat step four as you see once you get there.
And you'll notice that it increases like a triangle.
But the reality is, is that we have to visualize this thing upside down in order to
begin. So with your 5 mm, size 'H' crochet hook today
let's bring back the tree, and I'll show you how to look at it from this point of view for the pattern.
So from this perspective. We're going to be crocheting starting at the tree at the top section
just like you see here, and we're gonna get a triangle, and then we're gonna fasten off.
We then are going to start the next section
fastening on as we just skip so many stitches and we do across and then we continue the triangle out again
and then we fasten off and then the final section we skip so many stitches,
go across and then go as a triangle. just like you see here. Let me turn
it around if you need to freeze-frame to see where these buttons are the buttons are
incremental just like you see. So you have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 on the bottom,
you have four in the middle right here
and then you have four along this section here, you have three about halfway up,
you have four along this section here
and then finally the extra three right at the very top. So at the end of today's tutorial
we're also going to concentrate on the star, but let's start off with the Christmas Tree first.
So let's begin with the slipknot
and we're going to create this and insert our hook in this is using dark sage and a 5 mm, size 'H' crochet hook today.
So we have to then chain two so 1 and 2 and let's begin row number one.
It says one single crochet second chain from the hook, so just go, just count back
it's the very first one anyway, but you're just gonna do one single crochet here
and this is the very top of your Christmas Tree like so. We're then going to turn your work.
So I know it's kind of hard when there's only one stitch there, but that's okay
we're gonna get through it. So then we're gonna go row number two. So row number two it states chain one and two
single crochets in the first single crochet.
So just chain up one and there's only one here anyway, so we're gonna put two into this one, 1 and 2
okay and
then we're gonna continue, so we're gonna turn a work into row number three. So row number three says chain one and
it says two single crochets in each of the stitches.
There's only two, so you're gonna put two single crochets into each so 1 and
2 and
then do the next one it the next one over so 1 and 2,
just like that.
Okay, and then we're gonna turn our work and do row number four. So row number four is the identical for the remaining of
section number one.
We just have to keep on going in the same manner.
So we're gonna chain up one to always start and in the very first one
we're always gonna put in two single crochets so 1 and 2
and then in the stitches in between there's just gonna be one single crochet,
okay, and in the last,
so there's two in a row and in the last one here there's going to be two single crochets.
So that was row number four
So what happens is that you need to increase the tree
so there's up to have thirty four stitches all the way across. So turning your work
just chain up one and put in two single crochets in the first one, okay, so 1 and
all the sections work like this just so you know it for the future and then one single crochet in each going across
except for the very last one you are gonna put a total of two.
So just keep an eye on the stitch counts and just occasionally count
but you can look at the pattern and you can see that you got a little bit of a while to go before you can
even get thirty four stitches all the way across. So just to review one more time turn your work, chain up one,
two single crochets in the first one,
one single crochet in each going across except for the very last one where you'll put in two single crochets.
So I want you to repeat these steps until you get thirty four stitches across and
then just count it, count out just to make sure and
you should know that every time you're doing one row you're increasing the count by two
because you're adding one extra to the front and the back.
And I, when I come back so I want you to do that, when I come back I'll have that done for you. So
what I have here is that I have it increased out just like you see here
I've already put on my buttons and my star
but I've increased it out till I got to my 34 stitches all the way across.
Then I fastened off. So then moving on to section number two.
Section number two is that we're gonna skip the first seven stitches and then fasten on and then go all the way across and
you want to go until you leave the last
seven stitches untouched on the other side.
And then you just continue to put two single crochets in the first one and the last and you continue to go out
again
just like you see until there's 54 stitches going all the way across.
Then once you get that done is that you're going to fasten off and start once again on section number three skipping the first seven
and then you go all the way across ending leaving seven untouched and then continuing to
just grow out putting two single crochets on each side and continuing to grow it out like this.
Okay,
so once you have that done all you just need to do is then you need to sew this down to the actual project itself
and you can see where they have sewn it right here in behind.
So they just went
directly right across in order to hold it down into position so you can see it's kind of dipping down right here because it's
sewn right here
and it's also sewn along the edge. When you go to sew you'll notice that when they sewed they actually just
didn't go all the way through the project when they did that so they just went in the top upper sections here
just did the top fibers in order to hold it down. Then what they just did is then they just took
complementary buttons, and we have those buttons as well, and then we can just sew those into position and let's turn this one upside,
the other way
and you can get a good idea where all those buttons are. If you need to freeze-frame the video now is the time to do
it. So you can see where all the buttons are without any of the decorations on them
and as the week or the days come to gone or come to go you just take the decoration from the pocket
and then you just hang it on to the tree wherever you want in this entire tree will be decorated once we get that done.
So that's how you do this tree.
It's actually really quite an easy
section. The hard work really has been done within the actual
backdrop for time wise. All the rest of it then becomes not much easier to work with. So without further ado we're now going to move
on to the star. The star is actually really quite an easy one to do and then you have to then tack that down to
the top as well, and you can see that they tacked it just like right in behind here.
So let's begin to working on the star next.
So let's begin working on the star. You're going to need a gold color and in the pattern it has all this listed.
It's not very much work
that's required to do that and then we just create a center circle
and then we create a star points here in order to have it come off the edge.
And then once you have that done you sew it down to the top of your project just how I just indicated and there for
it'll be the star on the top of your tree. So without further ado let's show you how to do that.
To create the start all you're just going to do then is that you were going to start off with a slip knot and
you have to then chain a total of three so 1, 2, 3.
Then what you're going to do is that you're gonna put ten half double crochets third chain from the hook.
So you're just gonna wrap the hook first and go into the very first chain and
you wanna do that a total of ten times. So this is a half double crochet.
So 1, 2 this is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
And once you have that done. You're just gonna slip stitch to the first half double crochet.
Make sure you go actually to the top of it don't go into a chain space because then I'll pull it apart.
Just like that, see so it's nice and closed. So let's begin round number two, chain up two
which doesn't count as a half double crochet by the way and you've got to put two half double crochets in each of the stitches
going all the way around. So
you're gonna be putting in two into that one and then two into the next one and
so forth. So put in two half double crochets in each going all the way around. There should be a total chain our
count of 20 half double crochets
when you go all the way around and it does matter because it is a star with five points in it, relies on you to
have 20. So please do that all the way around, two half double crochets into each.
So as you get all the way around you're just going to slip stitch to the top of the first half double crochet
and you're done. So you're gonna fasten this off. Now usually in stars
we don't do that
but the designer is asking us to. So we fasten off first and
the points work over four stitches. So if you think about there's 20
stitches going all the way around.
I'm just weaving it in as I talk to you. Then what happens is that you can have five points which
equals a total of 20. So 4 times 5 points equals 20 stitches.
So let's begin doing one of the points. So we're just gonna start off with a slip knot first onto the
needle or hook and you're gonna choose any one of the half double crochets,
it really doesn't matter which one you choose because they're all equal. Just
fasten it on with the slip stitch so just pull through and through and you want to chain two.
Okay, so that doesn't count it as anything. So now you're going to then put the next two together.
So you just go right into the one you did the join so wrap the hook first
It's a half double crochet two together pull through and then
go into the very next one. So wrap the hook and go into the next one and pull through and
you'll have a total of five loops on your hook, so you're just gonna pull through all five.
So then you're gonna do that again with the next two. So wrap the hook going in, pull through,
wrap the hook going into the next one pull through and
then you'll pull through all five loops on
the hook.
Okay, so just take your time, and then you turn your work.
So you technically only have two stitches here when you turned. So you're going to then chain up two,
okay, and you are going to
put in their, um
half double crochet in each of the next two. So you're gonna do the first one and
the next one
and then turn your work okay, and then you're going to chain two and
these two are going to be coming together. So just put those a half double crochet two together
like that and then you fasten off.
So you pull through everything and
then fasten off, so there is a point right there.
So I'm gonna show you one more time just to make sure it's clear.
So then you just leave enough of a strand here that you can hide that in and then you sew that down on to your,
your backdrop. So let's begin to do it one more just to make sure, I'm gonna get rid of this
strand here. So let's do another point. So just grabbing the yarn create a slipknot and
we're going to go into the next one so
see where this one is part of that one so we go into the next one available.
Going in let's fasten it on with the slip stitch
and chain two, doesn't count as anything
it's a builder. So this one plus the next one is gonna be two together for half double crochet.
Okay, so you've got five loops on your hook pull through all five and do the same with the next two. So just advancing in
the next two
okay, pull through all five loops and then turn your work, so you're gonna chain up two and
there's only two stitches here, so there are only gonna be half double crochets one in each this time.
So you get like a row without having to think too much about and then turn your work,
chain up two and the two that you have left you're gonna bet put those together for
a half double crochet
just like you see and
then that's it. So you fasten off and there is another point for you.
And you keep doing that until you get five points.
So once you have that done is that you can refer to
the section and you can sew it down to here and when you look at the back you can see that
they hid the back section in right here, so all the strands that were on the tails were in the back.
You'll never see it anyway, so it's actually pretty easy to do and therefore you've done your tree
and you've done your star, you've got it sewn down, and the next time we come back in the next video
we are going to work on how to do these pockets. The pockets are relatively easy they take a little bit of time. Got some
slip stitching work in order to create the numbers that you see
but other than that that's what we're gonna be doing next. So I'll see you next time here on The Crochet Crowd as well
as yarnspirations.com. Bye, bye 👋
