Hello! In this article I’m going to tell how to crochet this beautiful Christmas Candlestick.

What do we need: 

1. Yarn, for example, Snehurka (200 m/50g). You can also use the rest of yarn from any lace doilies, every yarn is great if you use crochet hook #1 for it.
2. Crochet hook #1
3. Scissors
4. Starch
5. Needles for blocking 

Stitch Guide:

• ch – chain
• yo – yarn over
• sc – single crochet
• dc – double crochet
• fpdc – front relief dc
• 2dc-decrease – yo, insert hook in the 1st st, pull up the loop, crochet 2 loops on the hook, skip next st, yo, insert hook in the next st, pull up the loop, crochet 2 loops on the hook, crochet all 3 loops on the hook
• picot – ch 3, slip st in the 1st loop from the hook

Crocheting process:

• Ch 40, slip st in the 1st loop
• Ch 3, dc in each next loop around = 40 dcs
• Ch 3, {fpdc around next st, dc in the next st} – repeat around, slip st in the beginning of the round
• Work in front half-loops of sts of the previous round. Ch 5, 2dc-decrease starting from the 1st st of the round, {Ch 2, 2dc-decrease} – repeat around. Slip st in the 3rd loop of the round
• Slip st in the 1st arc, Ch 5, dc in the same arc, {dc in the next arc, ch 2, dc in the same arc} – repeat around. Slip st in the 3rd loop of the round
• Slip st in the arc, ch 1, sc in the same arc, {ch 2, picot, ch 2, sc in the next arc} – repeat around. Slip st in the beginning of the round.
• Finish off.

Then you need to block your candlestick.

Thank you!
