Pattern: "World Cup Garland: HUP HOLLAND HUP"
Start by crocheting the letters in orange. Next, using orange yarn, crochet a chain of chain stitches, and attach the letters to it at the same time using slip stitches. Okay, the garland is now mostly finished. Now you have the colors red, white, and blue to decorate the garland. We’ve chosen some little flowers and pom-poms.
Pattern of the flower:
Crochet 8 sts in color 1, and join to the 1st ch with 1 sl st.
Round 1 (Blue): Ch 1 as 1 sc, then work 15 sc around the chain loop. Finish with 1 sl st in the first ch.
2nd row (Blue): 1 ch. counts as 1 sc., 3 ch., skip 1 sc., *1 sc. in the next stitch, 3 ch., skip 1 sc.*, repeat from * to * 7 times. Finish with 1 sl st. in the 1st ch.
Round 3 (Blue): 1 sl st to start in the 3-ch arch from Round 2, 1 ch counts as 1 sc, work in the same arch: 1 hdc, 2 dc, 1 hdc, and 1 sc; *In the next 3-ch arch, crochet: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 2 dc, 1 hdc, and 1 sc.*, repeat from * to * 7 times. Do not fasten off.
4th row (Blue): * 1 sc in the sc from the 2nd row, 5 ch behind the petal from the 3rd row*, repeat from * to * 8 times. Finish with 1 sl st in the sc at the beginning.
Round 5 (white): 1 sl st in the 5-ch arch from the previous round, 1 ch; repeat *1 sc, crochet into the same arch; 1 hdc, 4 dc, 1 hdc, and 1 sc*. Repeat from * to * 8 times. End with a sl st in the ch at the beginning of the round. Fasten off.
Finish the flower by cutting a few red strands. Tie a knot in them and single crochet them in place in the center of the flower.
