Notes

• This pattern is worked in a round. Do not join rounds.
• Place a stitch marker at the beginning of each round to hold your place.
• The tree is made as one piece and is worked from the bottom to top.
• The tree begins with the magic loop method. This technique is also called the magic ring, or drawstring ring and many helpful videos can be found on youtube. If you do not want to use a magic circle, you can CH 2 and work starting stitches into the first CH.
