All the bobble tree patterns I keep coming across use chunky or bulky yarn. This pattern is made with worsted weight yarn but you could easily size up or down to create many different size trees. Create the perfect rustic touch to your winter tablescape.

Pattern Notes: Rows 1-6 are worked in continuous rounds. Row 7 to the end and worked in rows with sl st and turn ch1 at the end. The odd rows are worked from the wrong side of the project (from the inside) which helps make the bobbles stand out better. Stitch count is shown in (x) at the end of each row. Finished size is approximately 5” tall. Purchase the ad-free pdf for instructions on making the 7” large tree.
