Most holidays require everyone to cook and decorate, especially if you’re expecting friends and family. These three patterns contain everything you need to get in the holiday spirit. No holiday celebration would be complete without a beautifully decorated Christmas tree with plenty of presents underneath. Why bother with artificial garland when you can make your own? Personalize your tree this year with the Pineapple Garland. Save your tablecloth from all the hot goodies you pull out of the oven with the Christmas Tree Trivet pattern. A long time ago they used to make these on bottle caps. Now you can make old fashioned hot pads simply by crocheting covers and putting them over large plastic rings. While you’re setting the table, use the Christmas Doily pattern to make the centerpiece a little more festive or place them over side tables in the living room for some festive conversation and coffee after dinner.
