Christmas Tree Version:
Make the spiral in ivory and finish the edge with gold yarn. Crochet a small layered Christmas tree using increasing rows of SC/HDC/DC. Add a gold star at the top and decorate with small beads or gold thread.
Snowman Version:
Make the spiral in burgundy red with cream edging. Crochet a round white snowman head, add black eyes, an orange nose, rosy cheeks, and a red top hat. Add a matching scarf and embroidered snowflakes.
Finishing:
Thread decorative beads through the center of each spiral, attach 2 small bells or baubles at the bottom, weave in all ends, and add a strong hanging loop at the top.
