In Seoul, South Korea, a group of people crocheted blankets around trees in order to keep them warm during the chilly winter season. For three months, people gathered around the trees and crocheted close to 100 blankets. The blankets were created to suit the different shapes and sizes of the trees and were made colourful and creative using patterns such as sunflowers, cherry blossoms, flowers and parallel blocks of bright colours.
