CROCHET TREE APPLIQUE WRITTEN PATTERN
Materials
Worsted weight yarn in green and brown
G/4.00mm hook
Tapestry needle
Scissors
Special Stitches
Single crochet loop stitch: Insert hook into stitch. Loop the working yarn around your index finger (you may already hold your yarn like this). Use the crochet hook to grab the working yarn on both sides of your finger which holds a “loop”. Pull both strands of yarn through the stitch. At this point you can adjust the loop height my pulling on the working yarn. (I made my loops about 1/2 an inch). Yarn over, and pull through all loops on the hook.
Abbreviations (US terms)
Ch = chain, sc = single crochet, sc2tog = single crochet two together, st = stitch
