While this isn’t “officially” part of the 12 Weeks of Christmas CAL, I figured you all might be interested in it =) I’ve been making a few of these every night while watching t.v., so I’m hoping that by the end of the CAL I’ll have enough to drape around the tree a couple of times! For the cranberries, I used plain old cheap beads, but use whatever you have on hand. Also, in the original pattern I used a smaller hook (E), but I decided to use a larger one for my garland in hope that I’ll be able to make fewer of them. So, feel free to use whichever option you’d like!

Popcorn
Use white yarn (I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease “white/multi” – It’s sparkly!)
Size “F” crochet hook
Large red beads
Round 1: Ch 2, sc 6 into second chain from hook
Round 2: Inc in each (12)
Round 3: * Sc, inc * 6 times (18)
Round 4: * Sc, dec * 6 times (12)
Round 5: Dec around (6)
Round 6: * 4 dc into next, slip stitch * 3 times
Bind off and weave in ends
String up your popcorn and beads and drape around your Christmas tree!
How do you string the button between each popcorn?
