These simple decorations also double up as gift tags for that special Christmas gift. The pattern uses garter stripes and simple shaping, so they’re suitable for any skill level.

Knitted with less than 10g of DK yarn, they’re perfect for using up those extra scraps, and the quick, repetitive design means they can easily be finished in less than an hour.

This pattern will make a tree decoration approx 11cm tall. To make a larger or smaller tree, simply increase or reduce the number of cast on stitches.
