Mini Cherry Blossom Tree FREE CROCHET PATTERN

Hello !!

It feels so great to greet you guys for the first time, YES this is my first blog and my first post.

My name is angelia, the creator behind PIVOINE. I have passion for crochet and I've build this brand since 2015 but not until 2020 i started to write my own pattern. 

This is my first written free crochet pattern : MINI CHERRY BLOSSOM TREE; a creation of mine out of my love for flowers. 

Since it is my first time writing a crochet pattern and I haven't had anyone tested it yet, I expect there will be some errors in the written version. Please feel free to leave a comment or you can find me on my instagram (@pivoinehandcraft) to ask any question that you've got. you can also send me an email to pivoinehandcraft@gmail.com

Assembly

1. sew the short branch to the long stem, then attach the long stem and the medium branch to the soil

2. hot glue the flower and leaf to the stem and branch in the position that you favor.
