C2C crochet tree pattern

ByMelissa Hassler

This mini C2C crochet tree pattern is such a cute little project for woodland, winter, and holiday makes! The simple tree design works up into a small square that you can use for pillows, blankets, wall hangings, tote bags, table runners, and more. It’s a fun way to add a handmade touch to your seasonal crochet projects. In fact, I used it for my woodland wall hanging pattern.
