Holly Jolly Wreath Coaster
Wreaths are a classic Christmas decoration. Their evergreen boughs and bright decorations are a cheerful reminder of the season. A set of these can be worked up very quickly, and would make a great hostess gift for holiday parties.
The Holly Jolly Wreath Coaster is worked seamlessly in the round starting from the outer cast on edge, decreasing to the center.
I have found working from the outside in helps me to finish projects faster. This way you tackle the largest rounds at the beginning when you are most excited about the project. You build momentum as every round gets smaller and quicker. This simple Christmas wreath coaster can easily be dressed up with French knots or other basic embroidery to make it even more festive. Transform these coasters into ornaments by inserting an ornament hook through the knit fabric.
