Letter from the Editors

We like to get started early preparing for the holidays and we know you do too. You enjoy having unique

knit and crochet decorations for your home and family. You spend your spare time creating one-of-a-

kind gifts that truly let the receivers know they are special in your life. And you make cozy gifts to keep

you and yours warm all winter long.

So we rounded up our very favorite projects just for you. We have bright jungle ornaments or classic

little sweaters and stockings for your tree and a granny square tree skirt—all wonderful additions to

your Christmas tree decorating tradition. The Holiday Balls Throw and clever kids’ hats make great gifts

for special people. If parties will be part of your calendar, you’ll want to make a knit or crochet bottle

cozy or the perfect holiday hostess apron. There is a special Holiday Cat collar too.

If you’d like to make a snowman without getting your hands cold, we have a snowman jar cozy and mug

hug—both are perfect to fill with sweets or other treats for office friends.

We hope you’ll love creating many of these projects with our popular Red Heart yarns and spread the

joy this holiday season!

GRANNY SQUARE (make 12)

Notes:

1. Make one granny square in each of the color

sequences listed.

2. Squares are worked in joined rounds with Right

Side facing at all times.

3. Ch-1 spaces are worked between the 3-dc groups

across 3 edges of each square. No ch-1 spaces are

worked between the 3-dc groups across one edge of

each square (the top of the square). This shapes

each square so that it is slightly narrower at the top

than at the bottom.

4. Each round is worked with a different color.

Fasten off old color at the end of each round.

5. To reduce the number of tails to weave in later,

crochet over the ends as you go.

place shorter (marked) edge of each granny square

next to edge of inner ring. Match the ten 3-dc groups

across the top edge of each granny square with

eight 3-dc groups (and the ch-1 spaces between the

3-dc groups) of outer edge of inner ring. Sew the

granny squares together and to the inner ring. The

designer recommends sewing the squares together

in groups of three and then sewing the group of

three to the inner ring.
