Good day everyone! i hope we are all keeping well!
Another festive post from Dave here at thelastmancrafting blog and this time it comes with a free crochet pattern!
I have currently an obsession with my own handmade Christmas tree decorations and want to share them all with the world, or at least the people who view the blog! Also this gives me good practice at writing out crochet patterns for everyone to understand, as i have developed my own quick method of writing patterns when making my own, which to most people might seem too confusing.

Round 32: Tie off and tighten the bottom so the stuffing does not fall out!!
To add that extra bit of festive fun to the tree, i added an extra piece of yarn to the top to form a loop so it can be hung from the Christmas tree. I also added various coloured Hama beads as miniature baubles.
To add the Hama beads, i took some black cotton and weaved it into the appropriate positions sliding the hama beads down onto the tree, weaving the cotton to keep them in a stable position.
