Although we haven’t hit Thanksgiving yet, those of us who create in blogland like to get going a little early. After all, ideas of how to decorate for Christmas don’t really help unless you have plenty of time to make them happen (at least at my house). Forgive me if this is a bit early (I have had a few blogger friends get heckled for their Holiday posts), but I am excited to share this pretty half doily Christmas garland pattern with you, along with a few more fun things!

Crochet Holiday Garland

What you need: 

Start with White. Work a magic ring (make 10 – or however many you need)

1. Hdc 4 in the ring. Pull the ring tight, but DO NO close the ring, leave it as a half circle. Turn. 
2. Ch 1. Hdc 2 in same st. Hdc 2 in each remaining st. Turn .(8 sts)
3. Ch 1. Hdc in same st. Hdc 2 in next st. *Hdc, hdc 2 in next st* work 3 times. Turn. (12 sts)
4. Ch 1. Hdc in same st. Hdc in next st. Hdc 2 in next st. *hdc 2, hdc 2 in next st* work 3 times. Turn. (16 sts)
5. Ch 1. Hdc in same st. Hdc 2. Hdc 2 in next st. *Hdc 3, hdc 2 in next st.* work 3 times. Turn. (20 sts)

Join second color on the right, with right sides facing you. 

6. Ch 2. Dc 2 in same st. *sk 1 st, sl st into next st. Sk 1 st, dc 5 in next st* work 4 times. Sk 1 st. Sl st into next st. Dc 2 in last st. 
Tie off, and weave in ends. 

Line your pretty half-circles in a line, creating pattern that you love. Then, take a long piece of Really Red yarn, thread your yarn needle with it. Stitch your circle together. Try to keep your stitches as even as possible, and your half-circles as evenly-spaced as possible–it’s hard to adjust them later. 

String your garland up and enjoy the pretty!

xoxo,

  1. My favorite item to crochet for the holidays is ornaments. They make unique, yet inexpensive gift toppers, hostess gifts, and keepsakes. One skein of yarn can make dozens of them! Thanks for the giveaway!

  2. I love to come up with at least one item to give to family members, this year I have made scarves and hats all different patterns of course. I am also trying to finish the fifth prayer shawl and i have 5 lapghans completed to take to one of the local nursing homes. Hopefully if I have enough time I will be able to complete another of each before the middle of December. When I need a break from the larger items I make cowls for a local youth group to sell at their semi annual craft and bake sale.

  3. For Christmas, I really love to crochet Santas! I haven’t made so many, but I really feel that Christmas is coming, and that I’m making good stuff with my hook…

  4. Love to crochet !!! Just started one year ago and it has help me in many ways. From having a high risk pregnacy to dealing with loss of a son. It keeps me focused and sooths me.
