Autumn Bounty Garland

How to Crochet an Autumn Garland

Notes on the instructions:
Mushroom and Rosehip Berry motifs are worked using the amigurumi method. Work sts continuously in a spiral without closing each round with ss. Mark first st of each round with m, moving it up as you go.
Strengthen and shape Leaf motifs by blocking with a glue/ water mix before attaching to hanging cord.
Tip: Make glue/water mix by combining equal portions of PVA glue and water.
