O Christmas Tree
Sarah London has a mystery project on her blog most months, where she reveals a new project over the course of around four or five blog posts. This month started with bright green and fluffy white yarn – suggesting something very christmassy, of course. So I dived in, and ended up with this.
A crocheted Christmas Tree, made from granny squares. Mine is smaller than Sarah’s – she crocheted enough grannys to make an advent calendar tree, but since I already have an advent calendar in the works I stopped at seven squares. Mine will hang on the front door come the beginning of December (which is way too close for comfort).
That fluffy yarn really does give a terrific snow dusted effect! Both the green and white yarns are cheap acrylics from K-mart. It’s very kitschy crochet Christmas. I strongly suspect that this is in the realm of completely love it or completely hate it. Now to crochet a star to go on top.
Oh That is really cute! Well done.
this totally reminds me of my grandmother! It is EXACTLY something she would have done. yep! and all of us grandgirls would have gotten one.
Looks great! Works well even with just 7 squares.
What a great idea Lara… as an advent calander or as a door hanging. Nice work!
