Inspired by the fun we have as a family decorating for Christmas each year and enjoying tasty decorated gingerbread with hot chocolate afterwards, I created a garland with fun characters and other Christmas symbols that you can look forward to meeting again each year and even personalise to resemble your own family.

You can choose whether to make one of each ornament or more and whether to present them as a pretty fireplace, shelf or staircase garland or keep them as individual ornaments for your tree. There’s also a crochet version of each piece available as a separate pattern.

Sizes: Make the ornaments to fit your own home and in your preferred weight of yarn, so your sizing will reflect this. Sizes and yardage in the pattern are for DK yarn.

Tension: 24 sts x 32 rows = 10cm/4” measured over st st.
Working method: The bell is knitted in the round in the manner of a toe-up sock, using a double sided cast on and paired side incs and decs for shaping. Embellishments are added afterwards.

Finished measurements
Gingerbread Girl: Height 7cm/ 3”; Width 5cm/ 2 ”
