Dried Orange Christmas Ornament & Garland

These delicate dried orange slices make the most beautiful little hanging ornaments. But they’re also a great long-term solution to traditional dried

orange garlands, which always seem to get sticky over time no matter how long you dehydrate them for!

They’re extremely quick and easy to make so you can whip up a few to give as gifts even if you’re short on time. Or even try using them as little

present toppers or for decorating cards / tags. And the beadwork that forms each segment adds a beautiful touch of whimsy and elegance, making them glisten like little jewels!

There are plenty of suggestions at the end of this pattern for how to customise your slices, and you’ll also find instructions for how to achieve a natural and unique burnt orange look in the ‘Yarn & Measurements’ section.

The pattern is worked in both joined rnds and continuous rounds (so you’ll find it helpful to use a stitch marker). There’s also a stitch guide and photo tutorial throughout.
