  Step 1

  To begin, gather yarn in xmas colours and those handy little plastic rings from the tops of your juice or milk containers. Yarn thickness and hook size is up to you.

• 

  Step 2

  Join yarn to ring, any way you like.

• 

  Step 3

  Hdc around ring until it is covered, I completed about 30 or so.
  Hdc= yo hook, insert hook into ring, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yo over hook and pull through all 3 loops.

• 

  Step 4

  Once completly covered you will need to chain a little hanger.

• 

  Step 5

  I chained 10 here.

• 

  Step 6

  Slip stitch to join, fasten off leaving a tail to sew join together.

• 

  Step 7

  We are also hiding the the little tail here by sewing it in.

• 

  Step 8

  First round and hanger completed here.

• 

  Step 9

  Another joining method is to sl st to beginning.

• 

  Step 10

  Chain 10 for hanger, then join where you did the first sl st, but you still have to sew in that little tail.

• 

  Step 11

  For this one, I am just going to go half the way around with some green yarn. I will begin and end where my hook lays.

• 

  Step 12

  I've chained 3 and will do, 2 dc in the same place.

• 

  Step 13

  I've slip stitched in between the st's I don't want to use, then repeated, with the ch 3 and 2 dc in the same place.

• 

  Step 14

  I've just winged it (guess work) to the other side, no fancy counting, but it looks even to me and that will do.

• 

  Step 15

  Sew in the loose end and choose an adornment.

• 

  Step 16

  I like this, simple yet effective.

• 

  Step 17

  I'm trying a triangular look on this one.

• 

  Step 18

  I winged it (guess work) around again, had to frog it once to get it even.
  I hdc, 2 dc, 1trbl, 2dc,1 hdc, was what I used in the peaks.

• 

  Step 19

  Once again choose an adornment and away you go!

  I find the end of xmas sales have plenty of adornments for next to nothing, so that is a good time to grab some.
  I would love to see how your decorations come out, so please leave a link in the comments section so I can view them.
  I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial.
