A soft Christmas tree crocheted into a cone shape and decoratedbeads of bright colors, can easily become a decoration of the New Year's table or workplace. It can be put in the car or on the dressing table. Or you can give it to guests or take it with you as a souvenir. This MK will tell you how to knit such a Christmas tree.For the Christmas tree we will need:

cotton threads of green color;
hook, suitable for threads in thickness (1-2);
red and white beads;
needle;
wadding or sintepon for packing a Christmas tree.

The tree will consist of two parts - a cone and a base circle. Let's start knitting with the cone. To do this, cast on a chain of 100 loops.We connect the first and last loops of the chain. We tie the chain with simple single crochets. In the first row we do neither decreases nor increases.In the second and all subsequent rows we willdecrease two loops. But you will need to decrease them in different places. In even rows - at the beginning and in the middle of the row. And in odd rows - in the first quarter and in the third. The places of decrease in even rows are marked in red in the picture, in odd rows - in blue.After a few rows the decrease becomes noticeable.When half of the loops have been reduced and the row consists of 50 stitches, the tree already looks like a cone.We continue knitting, this is how the tree looks when one third is left to knit.Continue decreasing the stitches until there are only 2 left in the row. Knit them together. The first part of the Christmas tree is ready.Now we will knit a round base. For it we will collect 4 loops and connect them into a ring.We will knit the base in a spiral, adding loops as needed.How do you know if you need to increase stitches?If you put the knitting on a flat surface – the circle should be even. If the edges become wavy – you have added too much. If instead of a circle you have a cone – you have added too little. We finish knitting the circle when the number of loops reaches 100.Now, without cutting the thread, we connect our two parts. We connect them with simple columns. Having knitted most of the part, we stuff our Christmas tree with cotton wool or synthetic padding.Now let's decorate. For decoration we will use small beads of two colors - red and white.Sew beads in a circle, at the same distance from each other, alternating colors throughout the tree. Having finished the first row, we proceed to the second. Here, above the red bead, we will sew the white one and vice versa.The distance between the beads in the second row will be slightly smaller.And so we cover the entire Christmas tree.At the top we make a loop of 4 beads.
