Part 1- CONE

You will need;

K or L hook for 2 strand trees (my white one) I used an L hook.

5 oz of each color should do it, but have more on hand just in case.

Any size hook for single strand.

I used an I hook.

You need about half a skein for a tree. My skeins are 7 oz.

***While making the cone, join all rounds with a slip stitch in top of beg ch3.***

*** For each round, follow from * to * to finish each round.***
