Summer Party Garland

Set the party’s mood instantly when you adorn your space with this pretty boho garland inspired by the Mexican folk art tradition of papel picado, brightly colored paper garlands with intricate cut or punched designs.

The garland has 3 layers: a square tiles layer, a pom-pom layer, and a picot layer.  Each square is 4.5 inches (11.5 cm).  The garland is about 6.5 feet (2 m) long when you join 8 squares as directed. 

This is a scrap-friendly project!  Each square requires about 8.5 yards (8 m) of each color.  The pom-pom layer requires about 25.5 yards (23.5 m) of yarn.  The picot layer requires about 29 yards (26.5 m) of yarn.

This is a beginner pattern with photo tutorial that requires chain, slip stitch, single crochet, and double crochet stitches.  Written in US terms with stitch explanations.  US and metric measurements.
