Crocheting was on my mind this holiday season....and I had a HUGE list of cool patterns to choose from. Unfortunately I only got around to a few, but they were fun and easy to fit on among the holiday craziness.
Some sparkly granny square necklaces for swap buddies:
Using Vanna's Glamour yarn and my own pattern.
An old-fashioned sparkly ornament:
Used Vanna's Glamour yarn and the pattern is from Lion Brand.
Some mistletoe:
A sweet little holiday gift for a recently engaged couple. Very easy pattern from here, using cotton yarn and I even starched it a little to help it stay flat. It turned out even cuter than I thought it would.
And a little peaceful dove for Peelu:
She's been carting "her little birdie" around since Christmas. Vanna's Glamour again and another Lion Brand pattern.
And my FAVORITES were these sweet, little crocheted trees.
First I saw these cute little tree ornaments with lovely variegated yarn. I thought they were so cool and texturally interesting. I liked the simplicity. I probably could have come up with the pattern on my own. But I actually followed this one from Kala Hotakainen (a free Ravelry download). And I did make 3 tree ornaments with closed bottoms, but I didn't get a photo of them before they were gifted. I use a hige variety of yarn - sock yarn to worsted weight to chunky, novelty to sparkly to plain old green. They were so much fun to make. Very addicting.
Super cute, aren't they?
