Here is a very easy to knit Christmas Candle, complete with burning flame. Much safer than the real thing.

Make a pair for your mantelpiece, or cover your tree!
Bright yellow fluffy yarn works well for the flame, like mohair.

Worked in 3 pieces which are sewn together. Embellish with beads and gold thread.

Finished candle is approx 6cm/2.5 inches diameter at the base, and 15cm / 6 inches high.
