I have been wanting to make a garland for Christmas. Stars are nice, but Christmas trees are better. A friend of mine shared a picture of a Christmas tree and asked me if I could try to come up with a pattern for her to follow.
Granny Christmas Tree:
Gauge does not matter. Just use an appropriate hook for your yarn.

Row 2: two sets of 4 DC separated by 2 chains in each space. |

Row 3: In each corner of the previous row, you are going to crochet two sets of 4 DCs separated by 2 chains. In each space along the sides, you are going to crochet one set of 4 DCs. As follows:
Crochet 3 DC into the chain 2 space. Chain 1. SC into the top of the 2nd DC from the previous row. Chain 1. Crochet 4 DCs, chain 2, 4 DCs into the next space. Chain 1.

Chain 1 and slip stitch into the top of the original chain 3.
