Home for the Holidays - a heart-warming and hand-warming design featuring fir branches and cones, a cozy fireplace, Christmas stockings, a Christmas village on top of the mantelpiece, and more. As with many of my patterns, this pattern comes with multiple options, so scroll down the pattern to see them all.

Important! This is a fun but quite intense stranded colorwork design with lots of color changes, including three rows of knitting with 3 colors in a row, plus adding details with duplicate stitch at the end. If you are only a beginner when it comes to stranded knitting, I would not recommend this pattern.

Materials
