The second granny square to my Woodland Afghan is here – a cute little tree! I decided to incorporate the woodland environment along with the little critters. Before starting this afghan, I searched on Pinterest to see what was out there pertaining to woodland theme. (There’s boat loads of woodland themed stuff out there, by the way!) I saw a lot of incorporation of the woodland environment such as pine cones, branches, mountains, etc. I knew I wanted to make that a part of this blanket too, so it will be loud and clear that this blanket says WOODLAND THEME!
I redid this tree a few times. Since it’s such a simple design, I didn’t want it to fall flat. I thought back to all the stitches I learned and remembered the loop stitch I learned while making cabbage patch doll hats. This was the perfect stitch to give this tree some texture and stand out!
Here’s the simple pattern for the tree and if you missed the last granny square (A MOOSE!) – you can check it out here
