Christmas Tree Pot Holder Crochet Pattern
Create a Magic Circle with 6 SC sts in center using yellow yarn.
Join in the round by slip stitching first and last sts together.
Round 1: DC in same stitch you slipped into, slip stitch into same stitch, *(slip stitch, DC, slip
stitch) into next stitch* Repeat around.
Fasten off and use yarn tails to attach to top of tree (I attached mine with the back side
facing out). Weave in all ends.
Use pieces of scrap yarn to tie little knots on back side and decorate your tree with Christmas
lights.
