Deck the Halls

this Christmas
We have got together with the lovely Blogstars to bring you this gorgeous
Christmas Wreath. Nestled alongside the Christmas tree and gingerbread
man, you will find poinsettias, snowflakes, stars and hearts full of festive joy,
topped off with seasonal holly trimmings.

You will find our patterns for the ring, Christmas tree, gingerbread man and
poinsettias in these pages and links to the Blogstar’s patterns for all the other
elements, taking you on a magical Christmas tour around blogs, websites
and Ravelry.

We have also given you two ideas of how you could put your wreath together,
but there are so many combinations, yours will look completely unique.

Merry Christmas
from everyone at Stylecraft!
