It’s the most wonderful time of year! Well…almost!! But you can never start preparing too early! I don’t know about you guys but I love having a bit of handmade Christmas in my home. I always wanted to make a garland for my fireplace so I thought The Woodland Christmas Garland would be the perfect project to share with you all!
The Woodland Christmas Garland is a combination of mushrooms, trees, stockings and pompoms! I’ve been seeing mushroom decor all over the place lately so that is kind of what inspired this theme for my garland! I added some really cute woodland animals from JOANN, a cute mushroom snowglobe, some floral picks, and a really cute sign too! Along with that I draped a second garland from JOANN on my mantle with my crochet version for a double garland look!
Making the garland is really simple. You can mix and match any worsted weight yarn colors that you like. I went with the classic red, green, cream, brown and a pop of mustard! You only need small amounts of yarn for each pattern. Be sure to check out my video tutorials linked below if you need some extra help!
I recently saw a picture of the side saddle stitch and wanted to try it! It’s a really gorgeous stitch and once you have it memorized its pretty straightforward. I decided to make a beanie out of it and will be adding it to my craft market stash! Here is a good video tutorial if you need a visual. The only difference is we are turning our work and working in the round instead of going back and fourth in rows.
Materials:
Worsted Weight Yarn, I used Loops & threads urban yarn in oatmeal.
5mm Crochet Hook
Yarn Needle
