Christmas Lights Garland Knitting Pattern PDF Festive Bulb Decorations DK

Add a cheerful handmade touch to your Christmas decorations with this colourful knitted lights garland.

The garland is made from small, softly stuffed light-bulb shapes in a bright selection of colours, each finished with a black top and joined together to resemble a traditional string of festive lights. Hang it across a mantelpiece, shelf, doorway, window or Christmas tree for a decoration you can enjoy year after year.

This is also a brilliant scrap-yarn project. Make as many bulbs as you need and choose colours to complement your own Christmas décor.
