Crochet This Christmas Tree Fairy Decoration
Difficulty Level: Beginner

Why: This project is wonderfully beginner-friendly because it only involves three simple circular rounds using foundational crochet stitches.

Stitch Guide: Double Crochet (dc)
While the pattern uses basic stitches, the Double Crochet (dc) is the most technical stitch in the design. Here is how to work it:
-
Yarn over: Wrap the yarn over your hook from back to front.
-
Insert hook: Insert the hook into the indicated stitch (or the center of the magic ring).
-
Yarn over and pull up: Catch the working yarn and pull it through the stitch (you will have 3 loops on your hook).
-
First pull-through: Yarn over and draw the yarn through the first 2 loops on the hook (leaving 2 loops on the hook).
-
Complete the stitch: Yarn over once more and draw through the remaining 2 loops. You now have one double crochet completed!
