Bonifacio Xmas Deco

“BONIFACIO XMAS DECO” – CROCHET PATTERN BY  HILARIA FINA

Since time immemorial, the tree has been a symbol of fertility and renewal. Ancestral traditions consisted of cutting trees in order to decorate them or to leave presents under. The Christmas tree did not exist as such until Christianity adopted and changed those pagan traditions. Legend states that it was Bonifacio the missionary, in the German region of Hesse, in the VII century, who chopped down an oak where local people made sacrifices during winter solstice. He offered a fir tree instead that represented eternal life, because its leaves are always green and its treetop points to heaven.

INSPIRATION + DESIGN

Christmas is right around the corner and, if anything true is that we must wrap presents. This project will give to your packages a special touch, it is an additional present that could be reused as a Christmas deco.

Leftovers  of Merino wool Aran Katia that I’ve used in Flora HERE project were just perfect. On one side, green bottle and maroon are ideal for Christmas. On the other side, yarn softness and thickness gives a smooth and fluffy touch different from the cold cotton, more appropriate for the winter season. 

I timed myself and I can crochet a Bonifacio small size  in about 25 minutes. They are easy going and you can make as many as you want in your spare time.
