Herringbone crochet

The brightest and most significant symbol of the New Year is, of course, a Christmas tree. In addition to the main "New Year's beauty" people often decorate their interior with small unusual Christmas trees made of tinsel, beads, paper, wire, cloth. Today we want to hold for you a master class of Christmas tree crochet. The original and unusual herringbone crochet toy can become both a New Year decoration for your apartment and a memorable souvenir for guests.

The crocheted crochet crochet, the scheme of which is given below, can even be used by beginners.

For a Christmas tree we will need:

1. Our Christmas tree will consist of several circular elements of openwork pattern and different diameters, which will subsequently be glued to a cardboard base in the form of a cone.

For a basis it is necessary to make a pattern from a cardboard under the following scheme:

2. Then you need to form and glue the cone. And from the outside, glue it with colored paper.

3. Also from cardboard we make a tree trunk by the scheme:

4. We paste the cardboard in a tube, pasted with colored paper and bend the "fringe".

5. After that, we cut out the cardboard base-board for the Christmas tree and glue together the cone, trunk and base.

6. Let's get down to knitting. For the lower tier you need to dial a chain consisting of 120 air loops and connect them to the ring. And then tie two rows of columns without a crochet.

The third row consists of 120 columns with crochets.

The fourth row should be knit according to the following scheme: * 1 tbsp. without a crochet, skip 2 tbsp. from the third row and to remove from it 7 st. with nakidami, then repeat from * to the end of the series.

Fifth row: * Starting with the second st. with a crochet of the 4th row, knit 5 tbsp. with a crochet, then 2 air loops and repeat from * to the end of the row.

Sixth row (perform another color): * From the 3rd st. with a crochet (the previous row) knit 1 tbsp. without a crochet. Then, from the eyelet, which was obtained from 2 air loops of the 5th row, to untangle 7 tbsp. with nakidimi. Repeat from * to the end of the row.

We glue the finished element to the tree.

7. All the subsequent 6 elements are knitted in the same way, reducing the number of loops.

The chain for the 2nd element will consist of 100 air loops.

For the 3rd - 80 c. P.; 4th - 60th c. P.; 5th - 50th c. P.; 6th - 40th c. P.; 7th - 30th c. P.

After all the elements are ready, glue them to the Christmas tree.

8. The topmost element is the top - you have to knit a little differently. From one air loop to untie 5 tbsp. without a crochet. Knit another 5 rows of 5 tbsp. without a crochet. 7th and 8th rows - 12th century. with a crochet. Next knit according to the pattern from the 4th row.

9. Glue the top.

10. The herringbone stand can be wrapped in food foil. And decorate the Christmas tree with colored pawns. And our New Year's Beauty is ready.
