A quick stash knit for an idea to decorate presents, parcels, bottles or hang on the tree. 

Finished size is approx. 6/7cm - 2.5 inches - its a bit of homemade personal touch to put on somebody’s gift.

Knit and use as it is or knit 2 together with a small amount of filling in-between, this gives a 3d version which looks more like a star.

There are so many coloured and textured yarns, experiment with stash and scraps you may already have.  A fast little knit that you can decorate and embellish or leave as it is.  I made some yarn “tinsel” to wrap around the tree and used little star buttons, use whatever you have to personalise them.  Pattern uses DK (8ply) yarn and 3.5mm needles.

A beginner knit, there are decreases which are worked by just knitting 2 stitches together and also casting on at beginning of the row, there is help on my blog for this if needed
