10 Free Christmas Ornament Knitting Patterns

Hand knitted Christmas ornaments are the perfect way to add a touch of love to any Christmas tree. Knit them to decorate your tree or as gifts to friends and family members.

Ornaments are excellent as hostess gifts when heading out to a holiday party. Tie one around a bottle of wine for a truly special gift.

Add an ornament to the top of a wrapped package instead of a bow.

When giving gift cards or money, attach a hand knitted ornament to the envelope for a gift they’ll have for years to come.

Christmas Tree Ornament Free Knitting Pattern

#6. Christmas Tree Ornament Free Knitting Pattern

Christmas feeling came to me unbelievably early this year. I am playing with various yarns to make small Christmas trees to hang on the actual Christmas tree, put under nice hot mug of tee or hot wine, or send as season greeting to someone dear. Knitted Christmas tree is versatile.

It is a simple knit. I think it is suitable for beginners as well, as it involves only knit, purl, knit two together stitches and you have to know how to cast-on.

Decorate knitted Christmas tree as you like or even better, ask your kids to do that! It is a fun activity and kids will keep on asking for more Christmas trees to decorate
