Pattern Notes:

This pattern uses a super bulky yarn and works up in a flash. I’ve included instructions on how to wire them with a battery-operated light pack but that’s totally optional. The shape of the tree is maintained with polyfil stuffing. The bottom of the tree will remain open so to allow the trees to be unstuffed stored flat when not in use.

Skill Level:

Beginner/Intermediate: For crocheters with some experience. Basic stitches, shaping & finishing.

Assembly:

If you are not decorating the trees, then you’re almost done! Stuff with polyfill to your desired plumpness. Do not overstuff of the trees will not stand flat. 

If you’re decorating the trees, go wild! 

If you’re using lights: place the lights on first. I used one string of lights for all 3 trees. I started at the base of the large and ran the lights up the front facing side, to the top, and down again so we start and stop at the base of the tree. From there you can easily jump the lights to the next tree and so on. Stuff with polyfil as you go along to keep the lights in place.  The lights will essentially bind them close together. 

Consider adding mini ornaments! I found once that went well with the group so I used it as a topper. 

These are just suggestions, no rules here! Enjoy!
