experiment with stash and scraps you may already have.\u00a0 A fast little knit that you can decorate and embellish or leave as it is.\u00a0 I made some yarn &#8220;tinsel&#8221; to wrap around the tree and used little star buttons, use whatever you have to personalise them.\u00a0 Pattern uses DK (8ply) yarn and 3.5mm needles.<\/p>\r\n<p>Finished size is approx. 6\/7cm &#8211; 2.5 inches &#8211;
