Crochet Christmas Decorations 2020
Gingerbread Decoration
This gingerbread decoration will make a cute addition to your Christmas tree. Made using the double crochet stitch in the round. Some stitching is required for the details. Feel free to make it your own with safety eyes or other embellishments.

Braided Wreaths
This wreath decoration looks great in classic Christmas colours or a more modern colour palette. It has several parts that are made separately and need to be assembled. The main wreath is constructed as a braid from three crocheted strands.

How wonderful! I can’t wait to try making these. Thank you! It’s finished! The top-end does not look like yours and I realized I stopped the BLO for the last few decrease rows. Since I’ve already woven i the ends, I’ll leave it as is and save this one for me.
