This pattern does it differently: the ribbon is worked as a \u003cstrong\u003eflat 8-hdc strip\u003c\/strong\u003e, about 88 cm long, then \u003cstrong\u003edamp-blocked around a 6.5 cm cylinder\u003c\/strong\u003e — a covered tube or a tightly rolled towel — and left to dry into a smooth continuous helix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly once it's dry does a \u003cstrong\u003ehidden centre cord\u003c\/strong\u003e go in, with nine loose anchor points that hold the curve without flattening it. The anchors follow the shape the blocking created rather than fighting a flat strip into a twist. That's why the finished spirals in the photos open into even, rounded turns instead of hard folds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe five designs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSanta Magic List\u003c\/strong\u003e — dimensional Santa topper with beard, moustache and mittens, on a parchment ribbon with embroidered green stars and red ticks at set rows, finished with envelope and pencil charms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSnowman Endless Scarf\u003c\/strong\u003e — top hat, striped scarf with fringe, and a red-and-green striped ribbon ending in two mitten charms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSnowy Christmas Tree\u003c\/strong\u003e — three stacked branch tiers with a naturally curling garland spiral, snow pom-poms, a five-point star and gift-cube charms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReindeer Jingle Harness\u003c\/strong\u003e — antlers, muzzle and nose, a chest piece with a cream liner, gold-edged ribbon and jingle bells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGingerbread Icing Swirl\u003c\/strong\u003e — scalloped white icing running down both long edges, candy buttons, a bow and peppermint charms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSkills \u0026amp; materials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntermediate.\u003c\/strong\u003e The basic stitches are taught, but the blocking, branching chains, amigurumi shaping and multi-part assembly want confident control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDK \/ light worsted\u003c\/strong\u003e, smooth cotton-acrylic or cotton blend, in twelve colours (a coded chart tells you which shade does what).
