Yesterday I linked you to 10 Free Crochet Christmas Ornaments, but today’s list is for the knitters! Knit Christmas Ornament Patterns have all the same uses and advantages – small bits of yarn, quick, satisfying projects, and they’re great small gifts and present toppers! So let’s got on with the list!

- Stjärna by Karolina Eckerdal: Beautiful, and only 50 yards of yarn! This pattern uses an unusual cast-on, and instructions for that are also included.
- Spunknit’s Knitted Snowmen by Lane Drogato, via the Internet Archive: Very cute! Knit in a tube that’s then gathered at the ends, this patterns is easy to personalize.

Hi Brenda! I’m afraid they aren’t mine to email – that would violate copyright. However if you click on the names of the patterns you’ll go to the site where they are located!

I’m interested in the knitted ornaments, however, I do not see a needle size anywhere. I want to make the adorable snowman. Can you please tell me the needle size for that?
Thank you.
