Introduction

Hello and welcome to Yarn Society! In this tutorial, we will be making a rustic tree ornament using worsted weight yarn. This project is quick, fun, and perfect for the holiday season. Let's jump right in and gather our supplies.

Supplies Needed

To make the rustic tree ornament, you will need the following supplies:

• Worsted weight yarn
• Crochet hook
• Scissors
• Yarn needle
• Stitch marker
• Optional: twine or additional yarn for assembly
• Optional: Aleene's fabric glue (for gluing the ornament together)

Getting Started with the Top Layer

Let's start by working on the top layer of our ornament. We'll begin with a magic circle and make six single crochets into the ring. If you're unfamiliar with the magic circle technique, don't worry! There is a separate tutorial that goes more in-depth on this topic. Once you've completed the top layer, secure it with a stitch marker.

Working on the Rest of the Layers

Now that we have the top layer done, we can move on to the remaining layers. The process is similar to the top layer, with a few increases along the way to give the ornament its shape. Follow the pattern instructions for each layer, making sure to place a stitch marker at the end of each round.

Putting the Ornament Together

With all the layers completed, it's time to assemble the ornament. Take a long piece of twine or yarn and thread it through a yarn needle. Start by inserting the needle into the largest layer of the ornament, going through the middle of round one. If you intend to sell the ornament, it's a good idea to add a small dab of glue to the knot to keep it secure. Repeat this process for the middle and smallest layers, adding glue if desired. Once all the layers are in place, tie off the twine or yarn, leaving enough space for hanging on a tree.

Finishing Touches

To complete the ornament, trim any excess twine or yarn and make sure all the layers are securely attached. If you're selling the ornament, consider adding a small dab of fabric glue to the edges for extra durability. And that's it! Your rustic tree ornament is ready to be displayed or given as a heartfelt gift.
