Use these garter stitch trees to make handmade Christmas cards, hang them as decorations, or knit a tree bunting. This tree decoration is a great project for beginner knitters to try as this is knitted flat on straight needles (not in the round), and you just need to know two stitches: knit and a k2tog decrease. I decorated my tree with small pompoms, but you could sew on buttons or sequins instead.

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the tree is knitted in acrylic DK yarn.
