Finished size: 10-16cm tall, 6-9cm depth
All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end. No circular knitting is required.
The project requires only small amounts of DK (8-ply) weight yarn, so feel free to utilize your stash. Cardboard templates are inserted into the knitted items to maintain their shape. For added thickness and durability, the roof is knitted using two strands of DK yarn held together. You also have the option to use chunky weight yarn. While a darning needle can be used to assemble the knitted pieces, it’s recommended to use a chenille needle with a sharp point to attach the knitted sections securely to the cardboard templates.
You can transform them into tree ornaments by simply attaching strings.
