Instead of a double stitch, you now make 2 half stitches of same type between each ring.<br />4.

It has twisted picots on a spiral chain. Replace the picots with rings, and make the distance between rings merely 2 half stitches, and you have a compact conifer !<br />In case you are referring to the tatted trunk, let me know & I will make a stepwise pictorial specifically for this. <br />Hope you find some brown thread & give this a tat - waiting to see it on your blog :-)muskaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125166115615109271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725833531759425981.post-17017032269190899722016-12-24T07:25:33.387+05:302016-12-24T07:25:33.387+05:30I agree, Jane :-) I don't wear such earrings, ...I agree, Jane :-) I don't wear such earrings, but the trees are very cute & fun to tat.
