Knitted Christmas Decorations

​

The ones in the picture use two strands of double knit together to make a chunky yarn and 6mm needles but you could use double knit yarn and 4 mm needles to make smaller trees.

 

Make a loop.

Row 1: Inc.(see below)

Row 2: Inc. in both stitches

Row 3: Knit all the stitches

Row 4: Knit all the stitches

*Row 5: Increase in the first stitch, knit to the last stitch, inc.

Row 6: Knit all the stitches

Row 7: Knit all the stitches*

*Repeat these three rows until there are 16 stitches*

Cast off 5 stitches, knit 6, cast off the remaining stitches. Cut the yarn and feed it back through the loop - pull tight.

Join a new colour to the remaining 6 stitches.

Knit 4 rows.

Cast off.

Weave in ends.

Sew on decorations and either peg or tie onto strings.

 

Inc. - Knit into the front of the stitch, do not slip the stitch off the needle, put the needle back into the stitch and knit it again to make another stitch.
