🎄 2) Christmas Tree Knitting Pattern (Ideal for Beginners)

If you’re just starting, this could be one of your first knitted Christmas Ornaments.

It’s always a beginners (and veterans) favorite!

A friend in Japan tells me that she makes them as gift cards (and I give them away as tree decorations).

👕 6) The Cutest Knitted Christmas Ornaments: Mini Sweaters

So cute that when I finished the first one, I couldn’t stop making more (I made 10 the first time!).

They’re perfect for hanging from a garland, for example.

Tiny sweaters, huge joy.

And I show you how to decorate them using the duplicate stitch.
