Poinsettia Napkin Ring Crochet Pattern

This year, I would like to kickoff the Christmas craft with this beautiful and elegant Poinsettia Napkin Ring. Red never fails to represent Christmas. These crochet red poinsettia napkin rings will sure brings the holiday atmosphere into your house. Your guests will be so pleased to be invited over for an exquisite dinner during the festival.

Recalling all the Christmas crafts I’ve made in the past, 2 among a good number of them are poinsettia this is the 3rd poinsettia I have made. I crochet a poinsettia coasters with yo-yo puff in year 2010, and a made a bunch of fabric poinsettias in 2011.  What happened to 2012? Why did I skip making poinsettia in 2012?? Oh… I was busy with quilting and never did any poinsettia, I just used the fabric poinsettias for the holiday decor since they were well kept and still in good condition… what a good excuse  😉

These crochet poinsettia napkin rings are easy to adapt into other embellishments, you may add a brooch pin instead of the band of the napkin ring to make a poinsettia brooch, likewise, you can add a hairband and turn it into hair accessories. You can even make a bigger poinsettia by using yarn, starched it a little and hang on the tree, frame it up to be a Christmas decor, etc…. Change the color of the yarn or lace thread, you will end up with a different flower to suit your occasion, for example white, gold, silver, for a wedding event.
