Can I make this tree without safety eyes?

Absolutely. Embroidered eyes work beautifully and are the safer choice for young children.

How tall is the mini crochet Christmas tree?

About 5in tall and 2.5in wide, so it stands nicely on a desk or shelf.

Yes. A back loop round creates a flat base, and the trunk helps it stand steady.

It's a small ring of five stitches with a chain point worked from each one, then sewn to the tip.

Yes. Sew a loop of yarn or twine just under the star and it hangs neatly from a branch.
