A little Christmas tree with a golden star, red ornaments and a brown trunk, worked with five threads. It is a cheerful band to tie in December and wear all through the holidays.
The ornaments are only two knots wide, so take your time on those rows.
How to use this pattern
This pattern is 15 knots wide, so cut 15 base strings, one for every knot across. Then cut one leading string for each of the 5 colors in the thread list. The busiest color is A (DMC 939, 144 knots), so give it the longest leading string.
Tie the rows from the top. Odd rows are tied left to right with forward knots, and even rows right to left with backward knots. The guide shows each thread's path, ticks off finished rows and walks you through the band one knot at a time.
This pattern has never been knotted on real thread, and the colors on screen are close matches to DMC floss, not exact ones. Compare them with your real skeins before you start.
