This adorable Christmas ornament pattern was designed to be the perfect project to help new knitters learn how to work an i-cord as well as master the knit front and back (KFB) increase! This pattern eases knitters into working these important techniques in a non-intimidating style.

The finished ornament is sparkly and very pretty on the tree. It is stuffed, so it is nice and light and does not weigh heavily on the branch of a Christmas tree. The loop at the top of the ornament holds the knitted diamond beautifully, and the i-cord gently nestles itself the pine needles, making it nearly invisible.
