Christmas Granny Triangles 

Crochet Christmas Tree.jfif

I’d love to one year to go crochet crazy at Christmas time. Every January I imagine a tree with tons of gorgeous handmade baubles, festive bunting, one of those huge yarny reindeer heads and of course every gift would be made by me. Also everyone in the family would be wearing one of my Christmas jumpers and hats.

 

Yet every December comes round and I’m like, oh yeah, missed the boat on that one again. I might not be able to have a fully crocheted Christmas (Crochetmas?) but this granny triangle inspired Christmas tree is quick and easy to make up and you could make a whole load of them for a Yuletide garland or even use them to add a flourish to a wrapped present. Each item will only take up a very small amount of wool so it’s a great scrap yarn project. (It’s good to have a clearout before you buy more yarn in the January sales!).
