I’ve decided that Spring is here. The weather may be disagreeing, but there are definitely signs of Spring springing. I decided to crochet a Spring garland in celebration. I am sooooo happy with how it turned out, I had to share it with you…
I hope you like it? I thought I’d share the pattern with you, so that you can have a little bit of Spring, no matter what the weather decides to do this weekend. I used five different colours of DK yarn, but I’ll leave the colour and yarn choice for you to decide. You’ll also need a yarn appropriate hood, scissors and a needle. To make the flowers, you’ll need to crochet a puff stitch (ps), I’ve provided instruction for this at the end on the main pattern. For those of you that don’t need photograph instructions, or want to copy and paste the pattern, just scroll to the bottom of this post. OK? Ready? Here we go…
4ch, ss to join…
3ch, *ps into the ring, 2ch*…
repeat *-* so that you have 5ps and 5chsp, fasten off and secure in the ends…
join a new colour in any ch sp…
1ch to secure the new colour, then working in the ch sp, **dc, htr, 3tr, htr, dc, **…
repeat **-** into each ch sp, ss into first stitch to join, fasten off and secure in the ends…
join new colour in any st…
dc into each st, including the top of the ps on the first round…
ss into first st, fasten off and secure in the ends…
Make as many flowers as you need for your garland. Crochet some leaves, the pattern for leaves can be found HERE. I crocheted seven flowers and nine leaves…
Start to crochet a long chain, joining the flowers and leaves as you go along…
Hang you Spring garland and enjoy…
Let me know how you get along. Remember that you can find me on Ravelry HERE and on Facebook HERE.
