YARN ALTERNATIVES
These projects are designed for any DK yarn. Using a 4ply or aran weight yarn with an appropriate hook will make smaller or larger versions of the different motifs.

TENSION
Exact tension is not crucial to these designs. A smaller hook than would usually be recommended is used to ensure tight crocheting and prevent stuffing escaping where required.
Make the first motif and adjust your hook size as desired for a tighter or looser fabric.

MEASUREMENTS
Garland: Each circle measures approximately 7cm/2¾in across.
Heart pops: Each heart measures approximately 5cm/2in across.
Flower hanging decoration: Each flower measures approximately 3cm/1¼in across.
