Step 2: Shaping the Branches
First Branch/Segment:
Chain 3 (counts as 1 treble), and place a stitch marker in the 3rd chain.
Work 4 treble crochets into the exact same stitch.
Chain 1, and work 5 treble crochets into the same stitch.
Skip 2 stitches along the base circle, and make 1 single crochet into the next stitch.
Second Branch/Segment:
Skip 2 stitches, then work 5 treble crochets into the next stitch.
Chain 1, and work 5 more treble crochets into the same stitch.
Skip 2 stitches, and make 1 single crochet into the next stitch.
Third Branch/Segment:
Skip 2 stitches, work 5 treble crochets, chain 1, and work 5 treble crochets all into the next stitch.
Skip 2 stitches, then make 1 single crochet into the next stitch.
Top Section Shaping:
Skip 2 stitches. In the middle stitch of the top peak, work 5 treble crochets, chain 1, and 5 treble crochets.
Skip 2 stitches, make 1 single crochet, skip 2 stitches, and work 5 treble crochets into the next stitch.
Complete the balancing branch sections on the right side by mirroring the pattern: skip 2 stitches, single crochet, and work the final sets of treble clusters into the designated spaces.
Join & Fasten Off: Slip stitch into the 3rd chain of your starting point to close the tree shape, cut the green yarn, and weave in the ends securely.
Part 2: Adding the Tree Trunk (Brown Yarn)
Placement: Locate the 7 bottom stitches at the base of your green tree motif.
Insert your hook into the right side of these 7 stitches, attach the Brown yarn, and pull through.
Row 1: Work 1 single crochet into the same spot, followed by 6 more single crochets across the bottom edge (total 7 single crochets).
Rows 2–4: Chain 1, turn your work, and crochet 1 single crochet into each of the 7 stitches across for 3 additional rows.
Fasten Off: Chain 1, cut the brown yarn, pull it through, and neatly weave or trim the ends on the back side.
Note: Repeat Part 1 and Part 2 to create a total of two identical flat tree panels.
Part 3: Joining the Panels for a 3D Effect
Place your two finished tree pieces back-to-back with the wrong sides facing each other.
Joining Border (White Yarn):
Insert your hook through the outer stitches of both pieces simultaneously.
Attach the White yarn, pull up a loop, and begin working a continuous chain-like slip stitch border around the entire perimeter of the tree.
Continue slip-stitching through both layers along the green branches and the brown trunk until you reach your starting position.
Fasten off the white yarn and securely hide the tail ends inside the layers.
Part 4: Creating the Hanging Loop
At the very top tip of the Christmas tree, insert your hook through both layers.
Attach the Green yarn and chain 8 stitches to form a sturdy hanging loop.
Slip stitch back into the base of the chain, fasten off, and weave in your final yarn ends.
