MAGNIFICENT MAKEOVER
This season, do your entire living room up in vibrant tones! They really pop against the snowy white neutral shade in the projects, and are extra cosy thanks to fun fluffy accents.
LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE
This oh-so-snuggly blanket isn't just full of bold contrasting colours – the tree is also hooked in delightfully fluffy yarn, making this project as cosy as it is cool. Cuddle up!
ROCKIN' REINDEER
Drape this team of tiny fluffy-nosed reindeer anywhere in your home and they'll deliver the Christmas spirit to everyone who drops by to visit. They look especially nice on a mantlepiece.
ROUND AND ROUND
This beautiful wreath is made entirely out of adorable stripy baubles! Fasten them to a wire wreath and glue them in place, then attach to your door for some festive fun.
TWINKLE TWINKLE
Plunge into this massive star-shaped cushion, complete with a super-fluffy pompom at each point! It’s bound to become the centrepiece of your sofa all throughout the festive season.
STOCKING SAMBA
The traditional Christmas stocking gets a jazzy makeover with this Fair Isle-style project trimmed with inviting fuzzy yarn. Hang it with care, then fill it with cheerful modern mini-gifts!

NOTES
Decorations are made of 2 Panels, which are joined together with a slip stitch seam. Each Panel is worked in a continuous spiral using 2 colours. When changing colour place the loop of the previous colour onto a stitch marker ready to use again on the next round. The first round of the Panel is extended, so all subsequent rounds begin with a colour change.
