The “12 Balls of Christmas” has large, easy-to-read charted designs for 12 stranded hanging ornaments. You’ll be able to knit close to ten ornaments if using just two skeins of Cascade 220. These are great for hanging on the Christmas tree or from the mantel, as decorations on gifts or bottles of wine, or as future family heirlooms. Suggested needle sizes are given for 3 different weights of yarn. Designs include 3 styles of reindeer, an owl, trees, dancers, traditional fana design, star, flower, Greek key and a snowflake. I stuffed some of the balls with wool spinning fibre and others with poly doll stuffing.
Enjoy!
