An easy to intermediate Christmas Tinsel Crochet Pattern which was born out of my own want for a more sustainable tinsel option at Christmas. I love the outcome and reuse it every year.

Skill level: Easy - Intermediate (only due to the main stitch which is fully explained. Once you get the hang of it, the rest is easy)

Measurements:
Length: 100” / 2.5 meters approx (adjustable)
Width: 2” / 5cm approx

What you will need:
• 50g / 250 Metres / 273 Yards of lace weight yarn. I used 100% Hemp yarn. See below for other yarn suggestions.
• 2mm - Metric / 14 - UK & Canada / B-1 - US / 2/0 - Japan crochet hook
• Scissors
• Darning/Tapestry Needle
• Stitch Markers

Gauge: 26 Single Crochet (U.K. Double Crochet) and 35 rows over 10cm (4”)

This tinsel can be used as an alternative to normal tinsel, on a tree, or simply draped over a large branch with some lights or used as a simple decoration hung above your fireplace or even twisted around the banister.

The pattern is written in English and includes lots of photos to help you through it and full descriptions of each stitch used.
