As a self taught crocheter I usually stayed within my comfort zone. You most defintely demonstrated the puff stitch wonderfully. I obviously crocheted along with the video...super simple & now I'm "hooked" Thank You
Why is this under easy?😭 I've been sitting here for 15 minutes at the 3 minute mark trying to figure out how to START a puff stitch....I am actually crying Update: I made this comment when I first started crocheting and I'm now the god of puff stitches. Happy crafting and keep going! Happy holidays everyone
Hi, my husband and I drive an 18 wheeler and can't have a xmas tree. I started crocheting and saw your ornament. Loved it and decided to make it bigger. Wanted to send a finished pic, but can't. I put lights and ornaments on it. Came out really cute.
I love these trees and your tutorial was so easy to follow that I had completed each row and had to wait for you to catch up that is how good you were I give you 10/10, thank you for the tutorial and now I'm going to see what else you have for me to work on, take care and stay well.
I love this tree. I have made over 30 already just to hand out to friends through the Christmas season. I can't wait to check out your other videos. Yes I am a new subscriber your channel. ❤
Oh my goodness!!!!!!! You are so easy to follow!!!!!! I am trying to teach myself to crochet. I found some pretty hand made Christmas ornaments and some crocheted ones too. So I want to crochet some of my decorations, all of them really. My decorations are 20 years old and they were 2nd hand. Today they are falling apart. I want to replace them all with soft crochet ones.
Thank you so much for taking your time to make this detailed and fun video. I'd never made a puff stitch before and my tree turned out just fine, because of your clear instructions. Now subscribed.
Yay! Blocking is just a way of making crochet lay flat. For a project like this, you would use the steam setting on an iron or steamer and let the steam go over the project (without directly touching it). This will lock the stitches in place so they don’t curl. :)
Fantastic, I crocheted along with you and it came out so nice! I used a white yarn that has some sparkly silver thread through it, it's really pretty! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this cute little tree pattern. I found it to be super quick, easy, and fast! I so enjoyed making it. Great tutorial. Thank you so much again.😍😍😍
Thanks so much for the easy to follow video! A question though, I got the tree done but how do I finish it so it doesn’t just fall apart? It looks like you just took your hook out?
Glad it was easy to follow! I may not have shown the fastening off in the video. If you search “fasten off crochet” you should find a tutorial. But basically you just take the hook out and then pull the yarn through the loop from the back. :)
Just found this video a few hours ago and I’ve already made 6 of these! They’re so beautiful yet so simple and quick to whip up. Thank you so much!! I now finally have Xmas decorations to hang up around my bedroom 😄
Thanks so much for the tutorial! They are very fast to make and are a lovely project for yarn scraps. I’ll be making these to give out to my work friends.
Thank you for this video, cute little tree. I will make several for stocking stuffers and ornaments. New subscriber, you are one of the very best crochet instructors out there!
I loved how well you explained and produced the video. Excellent light and angles to show clearly everything for a beginner like me. Can't believe I made a tree, using a new stich, and it came out great thanks to you. Of course, subscribed and shared in pinterest :) Thank you so much for the effort in creating this and sharing!!
I had a 4.5 mm hook and it had too big of spaces between the puffs. So I tried the next smallest I had, which was a 3.5 mm, and it also had large spaces between puffs.
I liked this pattern so much, so I tried it again with a 4mm I found in my bag of hooks and I am very happy with the result! Thanks so much, and I am also looking forward to your other Christmas patterns!
Hi Rachel, thank you so much for this great puff stitch Christmas tree 🎄 tutorial. Your instructions were excellent, so clear and easy. Now I’m subscribed to your channel, I’m finding the other CAL ornaments and love them all. Once again, thank you for sharing. Stay safe and I look forward to seeing lots more from you. With love from Barb in Australia 💜 🧶 🇦🇺
Thank you so much! Your verbal instructions along with your work made this really easy and pleasant. I watched 100s of these videos-rarely do I turn up volume, it can be confusing. You have an gift for teaching. Thank you again. 😊
After the last single crochet stitch did you make a slip knot before you cut your yarn? Love this pattern. Planning to use it in so many Christmas gift ideas. Keep up the great work.
Oh that is an interesting idea! The puff stitches do have spaces between them (it’s not an entirely closed surface) so I’m not sure stuffing would be the best idea. However, I’m thinking maybe a layer of felt or batting might work to give it more depth without falling out…just a thought. Hope you enjoy the pattern!
So long as you’re using acrylic yarn, you’ll want to steam block them. Here’s an article on how to do that: desertblossomcrafts.com/how-to-block-acrylic/
Yes, for all of the rows except for row 2 that is correct! At the end of row 2 you’ll hdc into the last hdc. But rows 3 and onward you’ll hdc into the puff stitch.😊
Do you mean to make the tree larger? Im not sure off the top of my head but you basically just want to add more puff stitches at the beginning. If you experiment with the chains at the beginning you should be able to figure it out.
@@DesertBlossomCrafts Correct. I would like to make a bigger tree. So the original pattern calls for 16 chains. I wasn't sure if the Chaim count was multiple of 5 plus one or multiples of 4, etc. But your explanation here helps. I will experiment. Thank you for your response.
I have been crocheting since I was 7yrs.old can you make this into a pin to wear on your coat. What size hook and yarns do you use. You said 4mm hook is that a g hook or a e hook.
Hi Maria, unfortunately the yarn was given to me without a label so I’m not 100% sure. However, I can tell it is Caron Simply Soft so if you look at the color selection of that yarn, you should be able to find something similar (unless they discontinued it)
As of now the PDF is only available in the Christmas Ornament Ebook (linked in the description!) However, I will let you know if I decide to publish the tree itself separately.
Sometimes that happens due to yarn or tension - the good news is it is easily fixed! You can steam block it so it lays flat. Here’s an article on how to do that if you’re not familiar: desertblossomcrafts.com/how-to-block-acrylic/
The puff stitch was explained and demonstrated very well. Made it really easy to follow along.
As a self taught crocheter I usually stayed within my comfort zone. You most defintely demonstrated the puff stitch wonderfully. I obviously crocheted along with the video...super simple & now I'm "hooked" Thank You
Yay so glad you learned a new stitch!
I just made this pattern for my grandparent's Christmas present this year! thank you!
The puff stitches make it so unique!
thank you! the second first row got me confused when you said chain one but I watchd the video and you omitted it. Thank y!
I did this along with your instructions...it came our very well ! Thank you
This is super cool I never knew what a puff stitch was until this video thank you!
Thank you for this great tutorial!
Why is this under easy?😭 I've been sitting here for 15 minutes at the 3 minute mark trying to figure out how to START a puff stitch....I am actually crying
Update: I made this comment when I first started crocheting and I'm now the god of puff stitches. Happy crafting and keep going! Happy holidays everyone
Sorry you’re having trouble! I do have a slower tutorial of the puff stitch here: ruclips.net/video/1k-322smzNY/видео.html
It’s definitely not easy 😢
It starts out with a double crochet stitch h, and just keep going just don't finish it till the third time you do it.
Please don't cry. Keep trying. She actually explained it beautifully.
Totally understand you. New stitches take ages with me to memorise. I'll have a look at her slower tut. Good Luck to you. Merry Christmas.

That is so awesome; thanks for sharing!
Omg that’s such a cute idea! I was doing van life and missed having a tree so much then ❤❤ happy trails!
Love the tutorial Rachel
Worked up really quickly so lovely. Thought I’d try and use the triangle to create an angel. Thanks for such an easy design.
Ooh that sounds cool! You’re welcome!

Thank you so much for your wonderful Demo❤
What a great pattern! I just made three of them! I'm going to sew some crystals on them and gift them as Christmas gifts. Thank you!
Ooh, I love the Crystal idea!
May I asked how and what you sewed them on with?
Thank you so much for taking your time to make this detailed and fun video. I'd never made a puff stitch before and my tree turned out just fine, because of your clear instructions. Now subscribed.

I enjoyed making you tree. Thanks for a great tutorial.
Love it. Thx❤
SOOOOO cute, thank you for sharing!
BEAUTIFUL
Oh lovely tree
Thank you!
Thanks for a great tutorial! Very clear and easy to follow.
You’re welcome! I’m so glad it is clear!
Love this- made two as a beginner…still not sure what blocking is though. 😬
Yay! Blocking is just a way of making crochet lay flat. For a project like this, you would use the steam setting on an iron or steamer and let the steam go over the project (without directly touching it). This will lock the stitches in place so they don’t curl. :)
I got mixed up at the start because i thought it was 6 puff stitches but after i fixed that it went so quick and they are so cute!!!
Glad you figured it out!
Fantastic, I crocheted along with you and it came out so nice! I used a white yarn that has some sparkly silver thread through it, it's really pretty! Thank you!
That sounds wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it 😄
❤❤❤ Thanks so much! I have never had success with any other video! I made a Christmas tree lol im so proud of myself 🤣

How did you block these Christ as trees? I am new to crocheting and live your video. Would you do the glue and water to make them stiff? Thank you
I can't wait to make these!
Enjoy!!
So cute I saw these on Facebook am so glad I found you on RUclips am going to try to make these Christmas tree 🎄.
Thanks! Let me know how it goes!
It's a little hard to make

My pleasure!
How cute. Must try this.
Thanks so much!
So beautiful ty
So cute!! 🧶🎅🏻🧶
Thank you Evelyn!
Tysm I love the tutorial and it came out super cute!
How many chains would you start with if you wanted to make this a bit smaller? Say the bottom row had only 5 puff stitches.
I came looking for an answer to this exact question !!! Did you try it ?? 🤞🏻 I was just going to wing it lol
Thank you so much for the great pattern! I'm a novice crocheter and am not sure what blocking means. Could you explain? Thanks!
Here is an article on it! desertblossomcrafts.com/how-to-block-your-crocheting/
After the last single crochet stitch did you make a slip knot before you cut your yarn? Love this pattern. Planning to use it in so many Christmas gift ideas. Keep up the great work.
I’m assuming by slip knot you mean fastening off? If so, yes I did! Glad you enjoyed!
Great tutorial really well explained and super easy to make thank u, making loads for a garland 😊
Beautiful
Thanks!
When I do the LAST puff stitch in EACH row, do I chain 1 before the hdc, or do I just do the hdc / no ch 1?
no ch 1 before the the hdc
Do you have a pattern on how to make a granny square around this applique
No I don’t, sorry :(
Could you also make two and put them together with stuffing in the middle? Iam excited to try this pattern
Oh that is an interesting idea! The puff stitches do have spaces between them (it’s not an entirely closed surface) so I’m not sure stuffing would be the best idea. However, I’m thinking maybe a layer of felt or batting might work to give it more depth without falling out…just a thought. Hope you enjoy the pattern!
@@DesertBlossomCrafts thank you so much I will try the felt or maybe just as it is it’s so adorable ❤️
How do I block the tree? I seem to be missing this instruction!
So long as you’re using acrylic yarn, you’ll want to steam block them. Here’s an article on how to do that: desertblossomcrafts.com/how-to-block-acrylic/
So pretty :)
Thank you!
Ok new to this need a little guidance. At the end of each row you hdc into the last puff stitch? Thanks
Yes, for all of the rows except for row 2 that is correct! At the end of row 2 you’ll hdc into the last hdc. But rows 3 and onward you’ll hdc into the puff stitch.😊
Thanks for this great pattern, however I do not understand what you mean by blocking the tree???
You steam it to make it lay flat😊 Here’s an article that explains it:desertblossomcrafts.com/how-to-block-your-crocheting/
Do you recommend these for beginners
Can you provide me the stitch count to possibly make this pattern into a dishcloth. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Do you mean to make the tree larger? Im not sure off the top of my head but you basically just want to add more puff stitches at the beginning. If you experiment with the chains at the beginning you should be able to figure it out.
To clarify that, I think you’d want to add an extra 2 chains for every extra puff stitch you want.
@@DesertBlossomCrafts Correct. I would like to make a bigger tree. So the original pattern calls for 16 chains. I wasn't sure if the Chaim count was multiple of 5 plus one or multiples of 4, etc. But your explanation here helps. I will experiment. Thank you for your response.
How can I get ahold of the ornament ebook you mentioned? Would love to have a copy
It’s available for purchase here! desertblossomcrafts.com/christmas-ornament-ebook
Спасибо за помощь даже людям на другом языке 😎
What size hook did you use?
Where is the link for the ebook. I rather crochet from hard copy as im left handed so have to kinda crochet backwards. Thank you.
Here’s the link! desertblossomcrafts.com/christmas-ornament-ebook/
I have been crocheting since I was 7yrs.old can you make this into a pin to wear on your coat. What size hook and yarns do you use. You said 4mm hook is that a g hook or a e hook.
G hook and worsted weight yarn!
I would like to know the name of the color of that yarn was it called a color
Hi Maria, unfortunately the yarn was given to me without a label so I’m not 100% sure. However, I can tell it is Caron Simply Soft so if you look at the color selection of that yarn, you should be able to find something similar (unless they discontinued it)
Yay, thanks! 😍
My pleasure!
So I did the first row of puff stitches and I only got four. Any idea what I did wrong 😑
It’s hard to know without a photo🙂If you send me a message or email me one I might be able to better help!
I got the same thing! 15 stitches only and 4 stitches to a puff doesn't make 7 puffs! This pattern makes no sense
HI! I love this pattern, where can I find a PDF version of it. Thank you!
As of now the PDF is only available in the Christmas Ornament Ebook (linked in the description!) However, I will let you know if I decide to publish the tree itself separately.
Hi, Did you use a 4mm hook or a 5mm? That blue one looks like the Clover 5mm one, and I am wondering because the yarn recommends a 5mm. Thanks!
I used 4mm! The blue hook is not clover (it’s a cheaper brand haha). It wouldn’t hurt if you tried the pattern with a 5mm though😊
@@DesertBlossomCrafts Thanks so much for responding! I made several trees with a 5mm hook and now I will try 4mm! :) These are so fun to make!
Beautiful❤
What is the name of the PDF?
The PDF is called the Christmas Ornament Ebook! The link is in the description. :)
It is not working for me at all. I don't know how to make it smaller and smaller towards the top
Tank RUclips Google bay,Hélène ❤😊
How do you make a garland of it?
What I would do is make a bunch of trees and then string them together using either a long piece of yarn or a long chain!
my tree does not lay flat, it curves. what am i doing wrong?
Sometimes that happens due to yarn or tension - the good news is it is easily fixed! You can steam block it so it lays flat. Here’s an article on how to do that if you’re not familiar: desertblossomcrafts.com/how-to-block-acrylic/
The Easiest Christmas tree pattern !
So glad you liked it!
How much yarn do you use? :)
You really don’t need much at all! You can use small leftover balls you have in your stash. :)
