We all love those fun and festive knitted Christmas tree ornaments, but who wants to spend time seaming all of those tiny pieces and tracking down stuffing to boot? This tree is knit in the round, including the trunk which is made of I cord, on short double pointed needles. You only need to sew it shut across the bottom. No stuffing is needed since the fabric is sturdy and provides enough body to hang well. Leave an extra length of yarn for sewing closed when you cast on, and for the hanger after you bind off. If you have some experience knitting with double pointed needles and making decreases, this will work up in a flash. Make in the traditional colors as shown or go full-on stash buster with wild colors from your scrap bin. The tree pictured is 5 inches tall, from trunk to tip.
