Puddings! These are one of my favourite pieces in the countdown. They are so effective. Plus I love Christmas pudding (so much better than cake!)

Stockings. I have tried making socks/stockings before and have always been scared off by the heal. But this one was soo easy to make and follow.

Peppermint candies. This pattern seems that it would be difficult to get the swirl, but once you get into the habit of picking up the ‘other’ yarn to finish the stitch it’s simple. I added a second round to these, with two stitches into each stitch of the first round. Swapping the yarn colours on the second stitch. Again make two and join together.

I love these happy little trees. Again I made 2 flat pieces, adding an embroidered mouth and eyes. I joined them with single stitch around making a 20 chain loop for hanging and stuffed lightly.

ONE SLEEP TO GO!

These little stars are so happy and the perfect addition to the top of any tree. This flat pattern is easily joined together and the addition of eyes and a cheeky smile make them adorable.

Vintage ornament.  These would suit a more traditional tree, with their vintage styling. Again I made two and joined them together, stuffing them a little.

Beautiful bows! These bows were so quick and effective looking. They hold their shape well and you could make in any size.
