Hi my dears,
I was busy like a bee and next some news, I worked on some of my older (hidden) patterns too. And I will list them again. This is one of them :-) My working name of this pattern is ”10 minutes bells” :-) They are really quick to make and looks so adorable on our Christmas tree. So if you have a little time, take a hook and some yarn and enjoy the fun! :-)
