Christmas garland

Here is another very easy project for Christmas. You don’t need much yarn for this Christmas garland (perhaps your have some leftover yarn?..) and it is quick to make. Personally, I prefer to have just a few pieces of decorations for Christmas; I like the simplicity of this design and I feel that it is a “light” decoration.

The pattern is simple and suitable for beginners. I also included a chart and some photo instructions to make it more clear how to change yarn color and how to connect the triangles to the string. If you have any questions, let me know. For my garland I made six triangles, three green and three red, but are free to make as many as you want. Also, you can play with colors, for example, you could make red edges for green triangles and green edges for red ones. In short, you are the boss of your garland.

Good luck!

Notes

For the triangles: first you will be working in rows, then in rounds to make a nice edge. Next you will crochet a string to connect all the triangles. Turning chains for a triangle are not counted as stitches; start working in the first stitch of each previous row. The size of each triangle is 6.5 x 6.5 cm, the length of the garland is 83 cm.

Changing yarn color

1. For the second round, you should change the color to white. Make a slip stitch to end the first round. Then yarn over your white yarn.

2. Pull the yarn through the loop.

3. Pull the green yarn to tighten. Now you are ready to use white yarn. You can make a single crochet in the next stitch.

Connecting triangles to the string

1. Chain 50 and take your first triangle.

2. Insert your hook in the first stitch of the triangle’s top row, yarn over and pull the yarn through. Now you have two loops on your hook.

3. Yarn over and pull the yarn through both loops. Continue making single crochets until the end of the row. Chain 12 and repeat step 1-3 for the rest of your triangles.

Enjoy your Christmas garland!
