This project is a tiny crochet Christmas tree. It is made in one piece from the top down using single crochet stitches and popcorn stitches to make the tree branches. A small yellow star is crocheted separately and attached to the top of the tree.

A thin cord is added at the very top so you can hang it as a Christmas tree ornament, use it as a keychain, or attach it as a bag charm. You can also add small beads or pearls as tree decorations.

Round 1: Make a magic ring.
Work the star points into the ring:
*(ch 2, work 1 sc into the 2nd chain from hook, 1 sl st into the magic ring)*
Repeat between * a total of 5 times to create 5 star points.
Pull the magic ring tight to close the center hole.
Fasten off, leaving a short tail if sewing, or cut close to the back if gluing.

3. Hanging Cord

Take 1 strand of green yarn approximately 1 meter (~40 inches) long and use a 1.0 mm crochet hook.
Fold the yarn strand in half.
Insert your hook through the top tip of the tree, grab the folded loop of yarn, and pull it partially through.
Crochet the cord:
1. Yarn over your hook with the bottom end/tail of the yarn (you now have 2 loops on your hook).
2. Catch the top working end of the yarn and pull it through both loops.
3. Repeat this process until your cord reaches the desired hanging length.
Fasten off, secure both yarn tails to the top of the tree, weave them in, and trim the excess yarn.

4. Assembly & Finishing

Attach the Star: Sew or glue the yellow star securely to the very top point of the tree (just in front of or around the base of the hanging cord).
Add Decorations (Optional): Sew or glue small white or gold pearl beads onto the textured popcorn stitches to look like tree ornaments.
