Knit a set of stripy Christmas decorations with these easy-to-follow patterns.

Containing full instructions to knit a partridge, star and tree decoration from self-striping yarn, they look lovely hanging from the Christmas tree or lined up on a shelf, and the sequin decorations make them sparkle in the light.
Suitable for even nervous knitters, they are knitted in stocking stitch on 4.5mm single-pointed knitting needles and use basic increasing and decreasing to shape.

To make your decorations you will need: A ball of chunky self-striping yarn in the colour of your choice. We used a ball of King Cole Drifter Chunky in shade Auckland (2150) We also used a small amount of Rico Designs Essentials Mega Wool Chunky 100g in Red for the tree pot, but you can use any other chunky yarn you fancy.

Partridge measures 14cm tall, star 13cm tall and tree 19cm tall (but if you’d prefer to make smaller versions you can swap to Dk yarn and/or smaller knitting needles)
