Stitches Used

Terry The Tree employs essential crochet stitches throughout the pattern:

• Chain (Ch) – Foundation stitches for starting the project
• Double Crochet (Dc) – Listed as Single Crochet (Sc) in US terms; the primary stitch for building the tree structure
• Dc2 (Sc2) – Double Crochet increases, creating two stitches in the same stitch location for shaping
• Half Treble Crochet (HTr) – Known as Half Double Crochet (HDc) in US terminology; used for varied texture and structure
• Treble Crochet (Tr) – Listed as Double Crochet (Dc) in US terms; provides additional height and drape variation

Materials Required

This pattern calls for Aran weight yarn and a 4mm crochet hook. The tree is constructed from 100% Cotton Aran yarn in two coordinating shades totaling approximately 45 meters (50 yards). The designer used Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran in Racing Green (shade 628) for the darker tree sections and Pistachio (shade 625) for the lighter tree areas. The trunk requires an additional 100% Cotton Aran in Brown, approximately 10 meters (10 yards). Cotton yarn provides a crisp finish ideal for decorative pieces and offers good stitch definition for beginners.
