11/9/2019
This is not my pattern yet it is.
I saw several photo's of these Christmas Tree's yet no one had a pattern or link to share. So I took a photo of them and began to make one up that I liked, [thus my pattern

* Repeat 1 more time. Join to top of ch 2

2.) Sl St "loosely" into ch 1 space, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2,
3 dc, ch 1, *INTO NEXT ch 1 space, 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc, ch 1,
*Repeat 1 more time, join to top of ch 2

1 hdc in each of the 4 dc, 1 sc in st just after the dc's, finish off and tuck in tails.

NOTE: Option #2 for stem
 you can work DC's instead of hdc, but I liked the way hdc looked best

Fiddle-Fidget Muffs (Loom)

                               Front & Back of Muff
                                 Inside of Muff- I added fidgets to play with inside

This Fiddle/Fidget Muff was made from my 31 peg loom. E wrap,
continue working E wrap with 2 strands of yarn  held together
until piece measures 20 1/2”; fold beginning row end up through
tube of muff and attach to loom, (like making brim on hat), then I
crocheted the two stitches together with a sc around. MEASURES 10”... finish off

Blue & purple I’m using as front, and rusty colored I’m using as inside

Now to decorate, (my favorite time), I like to decorate with
a few things inside as well as on both sides outside

                                         Front of Muff

liner, 2. white, orange & green outer piece.

Use stitch and yarn of your choice. I also put some things on 
inside of muff to play with

Make 2

stitches, join yarn with sc through both panels, 1 sc in each 
st around, join and finish off

Now line stitches on opposite side and join with sc through
