This Christmas ornament is stuffed, so it is light and fluffy, and does not weigh down on the branches of a Christmas tree. The loop that suspends the ornament is worked in a simple i-cord, that looks attractive nestled into the pine needles. The knitted loop easily preforms its function, and securely holds the ornament in place. This ornament is worked in the round, which means there are no seams and no stitches to bind off!

You may choose to leave your knitted tree plane and showcase your chosen yarn, or bedazzle your knitted ornament to your heart’s content with beads, rhinestones, and sequence. Decorating it is possibly the funnest part of this DIY project, since you can sew the gems on to match your unique tastes!
