Round 2: Ch1, *1dc, (1htr, 1tr, 1dtr,1tr, 1htr) into next st* rep around, slst to beg of round.
Fasten off.
Sew in all ends and block each star.
Using 5mm hook, ch40, slst into the point of the first star, * ch18, slst into the point of a star* rep until all stars are attached, ch40.
Thread the ends through the loop on the stocking and tie with a bow.
Follow these simple steps to create a macrame christmas tree to add to your stocking.
Begin by cutting a length 40cm long. Fold it in half and secure to your work surface.
Continue creating square knots and increasing the space in between each one until you have 6 knots in total.
Now trim all of the cord ends to approx. 5cm and unravel them so that they look frayed.
Take another string, place through the loop at the top of the tree and secure to your stocking.
To make tassels, begin by cutting a piece of card approximately 10cm wide.
Take your yarn and wrap it around the cardboard several times (depending on how bulky you want them to be.)
Insert scissors at one end and cut the yarn. Fold the yarn pieces in half and then wrap another piece of yarn around the folded end and tie to secure. Gently pull through one or two strands, so that you can attach the tassels to your stocking.
Trim the end of the tassel to neaten.
Continue making tassels until you have your desired amount. Ensure that you vary the lengths of the hanging string so that they will bunch together nicely.
When you have finished, lay out the tassels in the way you want them to hang. When you are happy, take an extra length of yarn and tie a gathering knot around all of the ends.
Secure to the stocking.
