Looking for a last-minute Christmas gift or decoration? Have you got small amounts of fingering and DK-weight yarn? Make a knitted Christmas ornament. These easy patterns make great gifts.

Materials: small amounts of sock or DK-weight yarn (Regia Jacquard is great; used color 5180 “Oslo” for the striped ornament); lightweight worsted or DK-weight wool yarn for the cabled ornament.

US size 5 double-pointed needles (bamboo is a great choice for this project); clear glass ornament bulbs size 65 mm; scissors; tapestry needle; small amount of craft glue or hot glue gun glue.
