What you need
Steps
Pick a smooth cotton yarn in dark green and a 2.5 mm hook. Cotton keeps the triangle flat and the stitches crisp, while soft fluffy yarn hides them.
Make a slip knot and chain 2. Work 2 single crochet into the second chain from the hook, then turn your work. You now have 2 stitches.
Chain 1, work 2 single crochet into the first stitch, 1 single crochet into each stitch to the last, then 2 single crochet into the last stitch. Turn.
Repeat that increase row until you have 12 stitches, about six rows. Fasten off and weave in the end. Make a second identical triangle.
Add the trunk with brown yarn. Work 4 single crochet along the bottom centre of one triangle, then 2 more rows of 4 single crochet. Fasten off.
Hold the two triangles together with the wrong sides facing in. Join them with green yarn, working single crochet around the edge and 2 single crochet into each corner point.
Stop when a 3 cm gap is left. Push small pieces of fibrefill inside with the hook handle, then finish the edge and slip stitch to close.
Chain 12 for a hanging loop, or sew a 10 cm ribbon loop to the top point with a tapestry needle. Pin the ornament into shape and steam it lightly.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep your tension firm and even so both triangles match, and lay them together before you join.
Put a stitch marker in the first stitch of every row so you do not lose the edge stitch.
Stuff the tree lightly, since a fat ornament pulls the crochet edge out of shape.
Use the same hook and yarn for both halves, as a different hook size changes the finished size.
Questions
How much yarn does one ornament use?
A small ball of cotton is plenty. One tree takes roughly 15 m of green yarn plus a short scrap of brown for the trunk.
Can I make it without stuffing?
Yes. Join the two triangles flat and skip the fibrefill for a thin hanging decoration that lies against the tree.
What size hook should I use?
Start with the hook printed on your yarn label. A 2.5 mm hook with thin cotton gives a tree about 8 cm tall.
