I recently saw this Granny Tree pattern from The Royal Sisters featured on Tangled Happy, and I knew I had to try it! I think great minds think and hook alike, as Ali just made some too!
I crocheted mine with a 2.5mm hook, fine cream and green wools, and strung them together on a crocheted chain.
The pattern is lovely, but I adjusted it slightly to have just one row forming the trunk - I did it by accident initially, but decided I prefered the shape :)
I was crocheting these wherever I was in the house when I had a few minutes to kill, so I wrote the pattern up short hand to place on my phone and embed in my head! I thought I'd share it here for easy reference, but want to make sure people know it it just a short hand version of The Royal Sister's full pattern!
