Working with the new Kismet Velvet Push Yarn!

I also crocheted this Christmas tree in the new Kismet Velvet plush yarn in the colors 33 and 18. This particular yarn is incredibly soft and easy to work with. Kismet Velvet Yarn is a new range of yarn that is currently available here in South Africa. However, if you’re not from South Africa, and you’re looking to create an Christmas tree with a similar level of fluffiness, then a substitute would be Parfait Chunky.
When creating my Christmas tree, I decided to use 14mm safety eyes, but you can use any size you prefer. If you’re not a big fan of safety eyes for your crocheted toys, then don’t worry. I have two tutorials available on my YouTube channel that will guide you through the process, These tutorials include how to create both closed and open embroidery eyes.

Add weight to your tree:
Fill up a small bag with aquarium pebbles or poly pellets to give your tree stump some weight so it can’t tip over that easily. This tree is for decor and not a toy so I placed my aquarium pebbles in a plastic bag but you can use a sock or stockings.

As someone who sells my crochet amigurumi toys, I often get asked how to price them when selling at markets as custom orders. It can be a bit of a challenge to determine the price, but I have developed a method that I think will be helpful to you. This is a formula I have been using for a couple of years selling toys.
Selling amigurumi can be a great source of extra income as it is something that you can sell all year round and never goes out of season.

20: (3 SC, DEC) x6 [24]
21: (2 SC, DEC) x6 [18] – stuff on top of the poly bag,

FO, and weave in the end

Tip:
Put the stump down on a flat surface when stuffing, to prevent from over stuffing it and creating a bump at the bottom.

Mouth: Make a little V shape with white/pink embroidery thread between the two eyes, one round below them to create the little mouth.
Cheeks: Make a small pink horizontal stitch below each eye on the outer corner.
My Crochet turtle is definitely a favored amounts my followers, you can make him for free clicking HERE.
He can also easily be made in a velvet yarn.
The Lights:
- Trim long strands of yarn to embellish your tree with lights.

The lights consist of large stitches spread across the tree’s top.
