This holiday season create a tree full of sweater-like ornaments! The pattern gives instructions for 3 cable-knit designs. Each knit ornament measures about 2.5-inch / 6.35 cm wide by 3-inch / 7.6 cm high (including the metal cap). The ornament ‘stuffing’ is a craft-store plastic ball inserted into the knit piece.

These ornaments are a whimsical complement to Marie’s Buffalo-Plaid Holiday Ornament pattern.
