Evergreen Chain Garland

Here is a simple little project you can make to add cheer around the house.  Crocheted chains make "evergreen" garland and are topped off with festive bows.  Make it very long for a mantle or window, or do what we did and decorate a dolly's house!

Evergreen Chain Garland
By Jennifer Dickerson

Materials:

• Green Worsted Weight Yarn (I made strands in a few different shades of green to give it added dimension)
• Red Worsted Weight Yarn 
• J (6.0 mm) Hook
• Scissors 
• Tapestry Needle

Instructions:

• Make the first chain as long as you'd like your garland to be, accounting for the drape of the garland.  Learn how to crochet a chain here...
• Make several more, in the same green or different shades of green until your chain "bundle" is as thick as you want it to be.
• Tie the bundle at either end with a small piece of yarn.  Also, tie where each bow will go in the middle area of the garland.  Because mine was smaller, I did just one tie in the center.
• Make as many bows as needed to decorate the garland. Click here for One Round Bow pattern...

• Hang garland under a windowsill, mantle, doll's house, underneath cabinetry, above a mirror, or any place that needs some holiday cheer! You can use the ties from the bundles to hang it from a hook or your preferred hanging method. If you prefer a crocheted hanging loop, click here for an easy tutorial...
• Happy holiday decorating!!!
