Add a warm hand knit touch to your Christmas decorating, something created by you that you can’t find in a store! If you enjoy knitting socks or hats, yule love making these cozies. They are knit in the round so there are no seams, and they pop over styrofoam cones. Get yourself in the mood with a cup of tea or hot chocolate, put on some Christmas music, get your needles and yarn, and sit by the Christmas tree while you knit away on this fun project!! They are so cute you may want to leave them up all winter!
