Branches:
For the branches I threaded my beads onto the green thread and then formed a slipknot with the thread and green yarn together. I then worked slip stitches (SS) into the loops left by working in BLO in the main body of the tree, and made the branches by using a picot stitch. To work the picot stitch:
Chain 3, and slip stitch into the third chain from the hook, to add a bead to a branch bring a bead up and work it into the second chain.
To make the star I used the smaller crochet hook and a pattern from Inner Child Crochet which can be found HERE. The pattern shows three different sizes, I used the smallest size.
Now that your'e finished crocheting, take a few minutes to sew in any loose ends and show off your new decoration with pride!
I'm still new to writing up my patterns so if you encounter any problems please let me know!

How clever of you! This tree is so cute, I want to make one for every desk in the office. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Mine sits right next to my computer in work!
Hi! I have to say this is one of the best X'mas tree crochet patterns I found xD
Thanks a lot Maz! It really means a lot!
Thanks for sharing this christmas pattern!
Very cute! What did you use to weight the pot?? I don't understand that part. Can you use worsted weight yarn for this tree?
What is the finished size of this tree if you make it with DK weight yarn? Im sure it would turn out slightly larger if I use worsted weight.
It would help alot if you could put the stitch count at the end of each row so you don't have to put a marker there.
