I really wanted to crochet some more Christmas decorations this year. Last year I crocheted lots of little stars for my minature Christmas tree. This year, I decided on a couple of projects, the first project is a Happy Christmas Garland to go across the top of my wooden fireplace, the second project I wanted to incorporate a 1900's glass bottle which I dug up a month ago while out with my dad metal detecting, more on that project in the next couple of days.
To start with I decided on traditional red and green colours. I used Patons Extra Fine DK yarn, I needed eight red circles and seven green circles.
I stitched the letters using MillaMia Merino yarn in the colour Moss. I then stitched a foundation chain the same length as my mantel piece and used a double crochet stitch all the way down the foundation chain. I stitched each circle onto the long chain using two small stitches and I then threaded a small pieces of MillaMia yarn through the top of each circle and tied a small bow.
