Pattern Notes:
This crochet pattern uses the crocodile stitch to create the leaves of the trees. You will begin with a row of alternating 2DC in the same stitch and 1 DC. The crocodile stitch will be worked into the 2DC stitches that are in the same stitch. Each of these DC will have 5DC stitches worked down the post with a ch1 between. The starting chain (ch2) of the round counts as a DC. You will SLST into the DC that is by itself between the crocodile stitches. See pictures below for details.
