The foundation chain sets the stage for your crochet tree, and as you work through different sizes, experiment with color changes to add a playful twist. Incorporate the magic circle technique for a seamless beginning and embrace the rhythm of single-crochet and double-crochet stitches to shape the body of your ornament.
