Christmas Fancies - icing for your tree.

• Christmas Baubles - three versions in stripes or colourwork
• Christmas Stars - two versions (one flat, one stuffed)
• Snowflakes - small and large versions
• Holly & Berries or Mistletoe & Berries
• Jingle Bell Pendants - with or without stripes
• Holiday Stocking - worked in the round only

Suitable for everyone from beginner to advanced, these six different Christmas Fancy patterns in 12 versions will help you fill your house with holiday cheer.

The pattern includes instructions to work all decorations both flat or in the round, depending on your preference (excluding the Holiday Stocking which is only worked in the round). Many of the patterns have two versions or more - 2 Snowflakes, 2 Christmas Stars, 3 Christmas Baubles (one with just stripes and two with colourwork patterns), and both holly and mistletoe!

Each ornament uses approximately 10g of DK yarn (that’s a generous allowance - none of them used fully 10g) - a great way to use up oddments. Don’t have DK - make then in 4ply for a smaller ‘cute’ version or in aran weight for something fuller. Gauge is not important for these patterns.
