TREE (Inside the globe)

• Trunk: With dark brown yarn, ch 6. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (5) Fasten off, leaving a tail.

ASSEMBLY

• Place the tree inside the front half of the globe, positioning it near the bottom. Sew it in place using the tail from the tree.
• Place the back half of the globe over the front half, wrong sides together. Using the long tail from the back half, whip stitch the two halves together, leaving a 2-inch opening.
• Stuff the globe firmly with polyester fiberfill. Continue sewing the opening closed. Weave in ends.

• Row 1: Ch 1, turn. Sc in each st across. (5)
• Row 2-20: Repeat Row 1. (5) This creates a ribbed rectangle.

• Sew the base ring to the bottom of the globe, centering it. Weave in ends.

FINISHING

• Optional: Add a small loop of yarn at the top of the globe for hanging.
