Kris' Corner - Holiday Garland

Christmas Is A Coming!

Fall is in the air and as the days get shorter and the leaves begin to fall I can’t help but think about starting some holiday knitting projects. Each year I love to make a few gifts and sometimes some Christmas décor for the house.

This year, I’m including these adorable miniature Christmas sweaters and stockings on my list. Each one is only about three inches high. They make a perfect ornament for the tree or decoration on a swag. I’m using tiny clothespins to attach mine to a cord and hanging it in my entry to welcome visitors. They would even be sweet on top of a special present.

If knitting a full-size sweater or stocking seems daunting, this might be the perfect beginner’s project. You will master the same skills in quick miniature form and not much yarn is needed. So dig through your stash or check out some of the yummy new yarns Jen has stocked up on for the holidays and get to it.

This particular pattern is “Sweater and Stocking Ornaments” by Karen DiTommaso and can be found on Ravelry along with many other holiday patterns.

So curl up on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate, or your favorite hot beverage, and put your needles to work. Before you know it you will have created some Christmas joy to share.
