Since time immemorial, the tree has been a symbol of fertility and renewal. Ancestral traditions consisted of cutting trees in order to decorate them or to leave presents under. The Christmas tree did not exist as such until Christianity adopted and changed those pagan traditions. Legend states that it was Bonifacio the missionary, in the German region of Hesse, in the VII century, who chopped down an oak where local people made sacrifices during winter solstice. He offered a fir tree instead that represented eternal life, because its leaves are always green and its treetop points to heaven.

Skip stitch (abbrev. sl st)
Insert hook in stitch, YO and pull through both loops on hook at once.

Crocheting into the back bump of a chain

Notes
This pattern is written in US terminology.
This pattern is worked bottom-up.
Tree is worked flat, in one piece, going back and forth rows.

Take care to not work sl sts too tightly.
Turning chains at the beginning of rows do not count as a stitch.
