Here is a quick pattern to add a pop of holiday cheer to your holiday decor. These string lights work up in a flash and grouping 3 of them together would make for a perfect hostess gift this season! Enjoy and happy holidays!

This pattern is worked in rounds starting at the bottom of the bulb and changing colors through the topper. Do not join rounds, use a stitch marker to place in the last st of each round, and move up as each round is completed.

Easy peasy, each one should take 10mins or less!
