About 15 years ago, I bought some beautiful skeins of yarn with a unique blend, dreaming of a warm hat and scarf. But when I started knitting samples, things went wrong. The linen in the blend felt rough and unpleasant, and I ended up not liking the yarn at all. I put these "useless skeins" away, thinking "what a waste."
Years passed. I fell in love with amigurumi and decided to design a Christmas tree. I was about to order new yarn when I found my old, forgotten stash.
And you know what? The result surprised me. This crochet Christmas tree turned out simple and touching, a bit rustic and not too bright. It reminded me of a tiny tree in a snowy forest on a cloudy day—a tree that doesn't know yet that Christmas is coming and someone might want to decorate it.
So, a failed yarn experiment gave birth to a new pattern. And from my 5 old skeins, I'll probably crochet a whole forest!
P.S. The pattern for this tree is available in my shop here https://svetaminka2.gumroad.com/l/lmidnl . If you like the idea of a calm and natural holiday decor, feel free to check it out!
