This sweet little Christmas Fairy makes a charming addition to your festive decorations or Christmas tree.

She’s an easy and enjoyable knitting project, perfect for confident beginners.

Her lace skirt and wings are a gentle introduction to lace, using only yarn overs and a simple 4-row repeat.

She’s knitted flat with basic stitches, and I’ve included colour photos to guide you through every step. You’ll also find detailed instructions for embroidered eyes if you’d like to add your own personal touch.

(To make a smaller version use 4ply yarn and 2.00mm (UK 14 /US 0) needles).

Fairy size 14.5cm/6” tall
Needle size 2.75mm (UK 12 /US 2)
Tension - 26sts x 32 rows = 10cm (4”) st.st. Square

Recommended yarn: - Paint Box Yarns Simply DK

Small quantities of

If you are using an alternate yarn, check the recommended needle size for your yarn and use a needle 2 sizes smaller. This will give a close textured stocking stitch which will hold its shape well when stuffed
