You\u2019ll need:
\n1 skein brown yarn (any material of your choice)
\nscraps of pink & white yarn
\nH crochet hook
\nyarn needle<\/p>\n

Gauge does not matter.<\/p>\n

With the brown yarn, chain 10. Leave a long enough tail to do decrease stitches later. Then slip stitch in first chain to form foundation of tube, chain 2 and dc each stitch all around.<\/p>\n

Continue until tube reaches 48-60 inches. Now decrease double crochet, dc 1. Repeat until 1 stitch remains and bind off.<\/p>\n

With the other end of the tube, do decrease double crochet, dc 1 with the tail. Repeat until 1 stitch remains and bind off. You now have a tree branch!<\/p>\n

Now make some twigs!
\nChain 8, slip stitch in first chain, chain 2 and dc each stitch until desired length is reached anywhere from 4-8 inches. Decrease double crochet, dc 1. Repeat until 1 stitch remains and bind off. Leave the other end alone; you\u2019ll be attaching that end to the main branch.<\/p>\n

Make 2 more twigs, any length is up to you.<\/p>\n

Sew on the twigs onto the main tube so it resembles a cherry tree branch.<\/p>\n

The branch need flowers. Go to this site and follow the pattern instructions: http:\/\/nekosknitting.blogspot.com\/2011\/03\/sakura.html<\/a>
\n(Someone else came up with this flower pattern, not me.)
\nMake as many flowers as you like.<\/p>\n

Sew the flowers on to the branch. Weave in ends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
