Adding Snowy White Ruffle Layers
R20: Hold the top of the Christmas tree facing toward you. Switch to white yarn, and work into the remaining Front Loops (FLO) left open from R6, R10, and R14.
For each layer, repeat: (1 sc, ch 3) around.
Work all 3 rounds/layers using this exact same method to create the stacked snowy branch effect.
Finishing Touches
Straps: Attach green yarn to the lower corners near the ear holes and chain a desired length to create secure tying straps for your pet.
Decorations: Add small pom-poms, embroidered ornaments, or a small crocheted yellow star on top of the tree tip.
Weave in all loose ends securely with your tapestry needle, ensuring no sharp yarn tails can irritate your pet
