How about knitting a mini-mitten, hat, and sock as decoration for either your wreath, a gift, or the Christmas tree? Knitted on either the Bond or LK150 - items are between 2-2 1/2" tall. | |
The leaf lace pattern from Kathleen Kinder's book "The Technique of Lace" can be used to make all kinds of things, like this candleholder or the poinsettia below. | |
Knit this very easy braided Christmas wreath with 4-ply yarn. Knitted with keyplate 3, it is about 13" in diameter. The candy cane is a simple i-cord with just 4 stitches. | |
A lace bow that goes well with the braided wreath. Also knitted with 4-ply yarn in an allover easy lace pattern. | |
How about a gingerbread man, 3 1/2" tall, for a wreath decoration? He is double-sided but knitted in one piece, then the edges overcast. No need to sew in the ends, they can be stuffed inside! | |
The poinsettia is knitted from a simple leaf lace pattern. I should have added more bobbles but got in a hurry. With the intarsia keyplate or the regular keyplate in the carriage minus the wire guide, you can knit all 5 petals at the same time. Again, knitted with 4-ply yarn, 5" diam. | |
This star is knitted with three strands of metallic crochet cotton and the holding position. It's about 6 inches in diameter. Might also make a nice Christmas coaster? |
