Unique festive decorations for the tree, the Christmas Dinner Amigurumi are cute, quirky and characterful.

A Christmas pudding, a carrot, a sprout and a mince pie make up the set. They are made with small amounts of yarn - perfect for using up leftovers - and are knit in small pieces that are assembled and sewn together to form the final decorations. Increasing and decreasing stitches are used to form the 3D shapes with a variety of textured stitches providing eye-catching details. Pipe cleaners provide some structure if required.

Pattern Note: A 4-ply yarn could be used instead of double-knitting weight yarn if preferred. Using 4-ply yarn will mean the finished amigurumi will be smaller than pictured.
