Assembly

1
Lights: starting at the base, wind the micro LED wire around the cone in a loose spiral up to the tip, tucking it just under each garland. Tack the wire in a few places with thread. Hide the battery pack at the back, under the bottom garland.
2
Ornaments: sew the 14 balls between the garlands by their cap loops, spacing them around the tree and alternating navy, silver, and striped balls.
3
Pearl clusters: sew the 8 clusters into the gaps between the ornaments.
4
Bows: sew one silver bow near the top below Garland 7, the white bow in the middle between Garlands 4 and 5, and the other two silver bows lower down on opposite sides.
5
Star: push the free end of the skewer straight down through the center of the tip into the stuffing until the star sits just above the cone. Add a dab of glue at the tip if needed.
6
Shape the garlands with your fingers so the waves are even all around.

Important notes

Tip: This is an original pattern inspired by the photo. Hidden construction details, yarn weight, and dimensions are interpreted from the image, and the pattern has not been physically test-crocheted.
Tip: Abbreviations (US terms): ch = chain, sc = single crochet, hdc = half double crochet, dc = double crochet, sl st = slip stitch, MR = magic ring, BLO = back loop only, dec = decrease (invisible single crochet decrease).
Tip: The cone and ornaments are worked in continuous rounds with a stitch marker. The garland rounds and star rounds are joined; the ch 1 or ch 2 at the start does not count as a stitch.
Tip: Use only battery-operated LED lights, and switch them off when the tree is unattended.
Tip: Safety: the skewer, beads, lights, and small parts are not suitable for young children or pets. This tree is a decoration.

Pattern FAQ

How do I make the tree taller?

Add 1 or 2 plain rounds between each decrease round in the lower half of the cone. Keep every garland on a round with a multiple of 6 stitches so the wave repeat still fits.

Can I skip the lights?

Yes. The tree looks complete without them. You can add extra pearl clusters or small silver stars in the spaces where the lights would twinkle.

Why are my garlands flat instead of ruffled?

Make sure Round A has 2 hdc in every front loop, doubling the stitch count. If they still look flat, work 3 hdc in every other loop for an even fuller ruffle.

Can I use cotton yarn?

Yes. Cotton gives crisper garlands and a firmer cone but less stretch. Acrylic gives softer, bouncier ruffles. Either works with the same stitch counts.

How should I store it?

Remove the batteries and store the tree upright in a box with tissue paper around the garlands and ornaments so they keep their shape.
