This adorable knitting ornament is the only WIP (Work in Progress) you shouldn’t finish! It’s cute the way it is!

Materials:
- Plastic Clear Ornaments
- Scrap Yarn
- Size two knitting needles
- Toothpicks
- Seed Beads
- Glue Gun
- Scissors
Cast on 10 stitches to your size two knitting needles.
Knit about 10-20 rows depending on the weight of your yarn. I used fingering weight, so I did closer to 20. I also decided to do a stripe and then switch colors for some more interest!
Heat up your glue gun. Trim off the pointy part of two toothpicks just a little bit.
Add a little bit of glue to the end of your toothpick and attach your seed bead. These are your “knitting needles”.
Slip your stitches from your real knitting needles to your toothpick ones. I divided mine up 5 stitches on each “needle”.
Roll up your knitting piece with the needles and put them inside your clear ornament. You may need to shake your ornament a little bit until it settles where you want it.
Attach the top of the ornament to close it up and tie a little piece of string around it to hang.
Hang your new ornament on your Christmas Tree or give it as a gift to your knitter friends/family.
Hi! I don’t know what size bead seeds to order. Not mentioned in your pattern. I ordered #2 mm, but too small.
Thanks,
Katrina
Oops! I posted wrong e-mail address. What size beads should I order?
Thanks, Katrina
Hi Katrina,
I just tried some beads I had on hand until one fit the way I liked, but I think size 4 MM would work well! You can also cut off part of the toothpick!
Happy making!
Absolutely adorable! Making some tonight with red yarn so it looks like a Santa suit is on the needles!
Cute!!!
