To begin, you’ll need some basic crochet supplies, including a crochet hook (size G or the appropriate size for your chosen yarn), a yarn needle, and some yarn. For a classic Christmas tree look, green worsted-weight yarn, like Red Heart Super Saver, works well.
**Foundation Chain:** Start by creating a foundation chain with the desired number of chain stitches. This will determine the size of your crochet tree. You can experiment with different sizes by adjusting the number of chains.
Supplies: Green Yarn, H hook, yarn needle. It measures about 7 inches tall.
