Row 13: 1sc into each of next 5 sts (5).

Weave in all 4 tails to finish off your crochet pine tree garland motif.
Next, repeat all instructions from the beginning, 4 more times, for a total of 5 pine tree motifs.
Then, follow the instructions below for attaching your motifs into your garland.
Attaching Crochet Pine Tree Garland:
Once you have all of your crochet pine tree garland motifs finished, you may begin attaching them together onto your garland string.
The example garland uses 5 pine tree motifs, however, you may use more or fewer pieces, for a longer or shorter garland, respectively!
In order to attach each pine tree to the garland, you will be working 1 single crochet into the top of each piece, into the other side of the same chain you’ve worked row 1 of each motif into.
With yarn A (green), work row 1 below to attach your pine tree motifs together into a garland.
If you plan to use your beginning and end tails to tie up your garland, be sure to leave some tail at the beginning of your work.
Row 1: ch 20, [1sc into top of next pine tree, ch 20] 5 times (125).
The pattern given above is for the example garland, which consists of 5 pine tree motifs.
To make the garland longer, simply repeat the bracketed sequence in the pattern once more for each additional motif that you’d like to attach.
Once all of your motifs are attached and your garland reaches your desired length, fasten off yarn A and leave a tail for either tying or sewing.
For a more refined look, you may also experiment with blocking or starching your motifs! This will help create uniformity between all of your pine trees!
Finally, you may use your beginning and end tails to tie up your garland, or weave them into your chain for a more finished look. Choose whichever method works best for you!
