This post includes a free Christmas Holly Crochet Pattern and Photo Tutorial. I had a request for a quick photo tutorial to help with the Holly Leaves used in my Festive Cup Cozy Pattern.

Add this to Queue and Favorites

I decided to add this as a separate post to make it easier to find – and for those who need the embellishment and not the cup cozy itself. I hope this helps clear up any questions on how to work the leaves around the starting chain row.

    I am sorry to hear about the death of your grandfather on 12th of January. I love and enjoy your patterns. Especially the black shawl and hats. It gets bitterly cold here in Nebraska and we need them. Thank you for sharing.
