You will also need 2 buttons (non-shank), one larger than the other, but both between 1” and 2” in diameter, respectively, as well as 5 various sized beads.

Regarding yarn requirement: approximately 30 yards (28 meters) each any three colors of kid mohair/silk blend yarn or any fingering weight yarn that has a halo or is brushed. Sample uses Patons Lace Sequins.

This fresh and stylish take on the evergreen tree uses the reliable granny square, combined with other basic-stitch blocks. This is a quick, no-fuss project that can be made with almost scrap amounts of yarn. The keys to a successful ornament include the type of yarn used, un-blocked motifs (rustic and non-uniform are good here), and embellishments that speak to you.

This 2018 ornament is my exclusive design gift to all of my newsletter subscribers, as well as my Ravelry group members. It will not be available for purchase until the 2019 holiday season.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 3, 2019 - It is now available to everyone! Enjoy getting ready for the holiday season.
