I designed this ornament for a quick little colorwork project. It’s so fun to embellish with little details. It looks great on the tree and is a great gift idea! It’s also a great scrappy project. I used Tiny Human Knits merino nylon fingering leftovers and seconds from stash. Any fingering weight yarn would work well

The gingerbread house ornament starts with Judy’s magic cast then a latvian braid is worked and the rest is stranded colorwork worked in the round to create a two sided house. An icord is worked to make a hanging loop.
