Anasayfa / Tina's Crochet / Christmas 24
Last addition: 1/30/2003
Pineapple Christmas tree
[8/28/2002] Pattern Source: This came in a kit containing thread, beads, and a Styrofoam tree form to use for blocking. It should be available at Herrschners. Try searching for "pineapple tree" on their website.
Gingerbread house - front
[12/6/2002] Pattern Source: This pattern is from a House of White Birches leaflet called Crochet Gingerbread House, number 101061 - copyright 1996 by Rosanne Kropp. I was unable to find it on their site, so you may need to inquire with them to see if it is still in print. The leaflet says you can write to HoWB for a complete list of publications: Publications Listing, 306 East Parr Road, Berne, IN 46711.
wreath-kitty
[12/27/2009] I got a sudden whim about a week before Christmas 2009 to do some holiday crocheting, and this was the result. Pattern Source: A now out-of-print leaflet from Annie's Attic called "Crochet Christmas Kitties", copyright 2000. It has six adorable designs including this one.
Carousel horse
This carousel horse is from a Herrschners kit. I thought it was adorable when I saw it in the magazine, and it was surprisingly easy to do. (But if you decide to try it, MARK YOUR ROUNDS! I had to pull out half the body because I didn't mark rounds and my poor horse started looking deformed!) My husband, Ray, mounted it using wood bits from a craft store. Pattern Availability: You can order this from the Herrschners website (search for "carousel"), or by calling them at (800)441-0838.
Ornament close-ups: snowflake, "popcorn" garland, satin ball covers
Pattern Source: The "popcorn" garland comes from a book entitled Country Christmas Crochet which was published by House of White Birches. The ornament covers are in the same issue of Favorite Classics Christmas Crochet as the "bear in hot-air balloon" ornament. All snowflakes are from ASN's 101 Snowflakes book; Annie's Attic now distributes ASN's publications.
Christmas tree with crochet decorations
In 1999 we got a Christmas tree for the first time since my husband and I have been together. Since we weren't sure whether the cats would destroy it, we decided to decorate it almost entirely with handmade ornaments. Most of them were crocheted by me (who else?), and my husband made a few from plastic canvas. Here is our tree; after this picture are a few close-ups of some of the ornaments. For a close-up of our tree-topper, see the angels page.
Hot-air balloon ornament
Tiny bear in a hot-air balloon made from a satin Christmas ball. Pattern Source: Favorite Classics Christmas Crochet issue #10. I have no idea if back issues of this magazine can be ordered, but the phone number listed in the magazine is 973-383-8080 (this is the Reader Service number).
Ornament close-ups: popcorn garland, satin ball cover.
Pattern Source: The ornament covers are in the same issue of Favorite Classics Christmas Crochet as the "bear in hot-air balloon" ornament. The "popcorn" garland comes from a book entitled Country Christmas Crochet which was published by House of White Birches.
