There is something extraordinary about decorating your home for Christmas with pieces you have made with your own hands. Handmade decor carries a sense of warmth and intention that store-bought items simply cannot match.
This year, I wanted to create something simple, charming, and deeply comforting, so I reached for my favourite tweed yarn and designed a crochet garland that brings a touch of rustic beauty to any holiday space.

Tweed yarn has always had a special place in my maker’s heart. Its soft flecks of colour and natural texture remind me of winter walks on the prairies and the quiet stillness of the season. It adds depth and character to even the simplest stitches, which makes it perfect for Christmas decor that feels inviting and timeless.
This garland is an easy and relaxing project you can enjoy curled up with a cup of tea, the tree lights twinkling beside you. Whether you drape it along your mantle, wrap it around your tree, or incorporate it into gift wrapping, it brings a little handmade magic into your home.
To help you create your own, I filmed a step-by-step tutorial that walks you through the entire process. You can watch it here:
I hope this project encourages you to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the creative spirit of the season. Handmade ornaments and garlands become part of your story. They remind you of the moments spent making them and the joy of creating something beautiful.
If you make this crochet garland, I would absolutely love to see it. Share your photos with me on Instagram and tag me so that I can cheer you on and celebrate your creativity. Your projects inspire me more than you know.
Wishing you a warm, cozy, and joy-filled Christmas, filled with stitches that feel like home.
