Crochet yourself a bit of shade with this 8 foot palm tree pattern!

Perfect for beach parties (Hawaiian luau) a jungle themed baby nursery, rain forest or desert oasis.

THE PALM TREE
The details make this palm tree very realistic. The trunk is crocheted with varying stitches to give it a ridged and wavy look. The crocodile stitches and fun fur at the top make it look like cut palms. The leaves crocheted in various shades of green make it look like the sun is casting shadows. And the loop stitch base makes wonderful grass!

You’ll be surprised to learn that the inside structure is made with easy to find parts like a christmas tree stand and 3” drainage pipe, etc. (Most to be found at your local hardware store.)

It’s Moveable!
Decorating for a party? No problem. You can move this around until you find just the right spot because it’s held upright with the Christmas tree stand!
