ornaments 9-1/2

Note: The smaller number of
stitches is for the heavier yarn
and larger number is for the
lighter weight yarn. When you
have about 1 of work on yarn,
put ornament into it to make sure
it will fit nicely when stretched.

Repeat last two rounds until work measures about 2-1/2.
Knit 2 tog. around for 2 rows
Cut yarn, leaving a 6-8 tail. Thread through the stitches two times and pull tightly to close.
Weave in tail.
Place the ornament into the cover. Thread the cast on tail through your tapestry needle and work
through the cast on sts. and pull tightly. Weave the tail in securely.

Trim Ideas:
When the ornament is complete, you can trim it with a tassel, jingle bells, buttons, beads, etc.
You can make ornaments to match other knitted gifts, your college team, or anything else you
can imagine. Have fun and Merry Christmas!
