This was so quick to stitch up! Finishing just a few links each night resulted in a chain long enough to use either on the mantel, or across a window in no time. I’d love to make one for the tree, but that may be a multi-year project. The pattern and inspiration came from The Twisted Yarn. Check out her other cute knit and crochet Christmas projects too.
While I do like the two colors together, it really needs at least three. With two colors, each cream chain faces the same way, as does each red one. When you look straight at it, you see primarily one color. Three or more would allow different colors to show from any angle. I joined each as I went in order to crochet them together, and stitched in the ends once a day with whatever I had finished the day before. That kept it from being set aside and becoming another WiP at the prospect of weaving in all the ends at one time.
One of these days now I need to start actually decorating with all these Christmas-y things.

That turned out awesome!
I’m happy with it! I may start a scrap yarn one and try to do enough to use on the tree.
That’s a great idea to use up scraps
I really like this 🙂
Me too. Simple yet cute.
I just love these. I’ll have to make them up some day. Super simple and cute.
And great for using up scraps.
Love the color combo and design! Very pretty! 🙂
I had the yarn left over from an afghan I made my SIL last year. I really like the deeper red.
I found you a cute crochet pattern

That is cute. I’ll have to get some green yarn. I think I only have forest green in my stash right now. Thank you!
I remember seeing this last year on the Twisted Yarn blog and being intrigued! I like the red and cream colors–I can see what you mean about a third color but these two alone are so appealing.
