Christmas Tree Decorations and Keepsakes
Discover the joy of creating these adorable knitted characters using 4ply/fingering yarn oddments and a size 2mm needle! This delightful knitting pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels and adds a charming touch to your holiday decorations. Each character can be placed in plastic fillable baubles, strung for hanging, or even gifted as unique keepsakes or small extra tree gifts for friends and family. These sweet designs measure approximately 4 inches (10 cm) when sitting and 5.5 inches (14 cm) when standing, making them an ideal size for any festive occasion.
This comprehensive knitting pattern includes detailed directions for:
- Bear
- Baby Doll
- Snowman
- Elf
- Penguin
The pattern features a step-by-step assembly guide to assist you throughout your knitting journey. While the main character in the guide is the charming snowman, all other characters can be assembled using the same method. For added clarity, I've included helpful photos to highlight any unique differences between the characters. The Penguin pattern, in particular, has a complete step-by-step guide to ensure perfect results!
To give your characters a touch of personality, eyes can be created using embroidered French knots or beads. However, please exercise caution and avoid beads if you plan to gift these characters to children under the age of 3 years for safety reasons. For increasing stitches, simply knit into the front and back of the same stitch (KFB).
If you’re interested in showcasing your creations, I recommend using 120mm plastic fillable baubles, and I've included links within the pattern for easy purchasing. Elevate your knitting experience and create these festive characters today!
