From the April 2017 issue

Create a delightful, interactive wall hanging with the Tree Full of Friends, a fun and functional crochet project perfect for kids. This 20″ x 24″ hanging features a tree against a bright blue sky, with pockets for adorable amigurumi friends — an owl, bluebird, and squirrel — and oversized buttons for attaching colorful flower petals. Not only is it an engaging toy for busy little hands, but it also doubles as a charming decoration for a child’s room. This project is a great way to use up stash yarn while creating something truly special.

In Part 1, crochet the vibrant background and tree base. In Part 2, add personality with the owl and bluebird amigurumi. Finally, in Part 3, finish the project by making the squirrel, flowers, and assembling your whimsical creation.
