Holly Hanging

This year I am making Holly Hangings for little gifts.

 

I hope my friends and family will keep them as festive decorations or maybe hang them on the tree.

 

They would also be lovely for fundraising events, and as teacher gifts.

These cute Holly Hanging Decorations are made with 3 holly leaves – knitted as 1 double and 1 single

(This is better that knitting 3 single leaves, as there are less ends to darn away at the end)

Using 2 strands of green DK yarn knitted together (or one strand of UK chunky yarn) and 5mm or 6mm needles ~
