Knitting essentials for Christmas

Christmas balls

Knitted baubles instantly add a cozy touch to your tree. They're perfect for testing basic stitches or getting started with jacquard. Fill them with cotton wool, scraps of yarn, or even small bells!

Stars and snowflakes

Hang them in windows, on branches, or give them as gifts. Knitted flat or in relief, these magical little shapes are ideal for beginners.

Knitted garlands

A series of mini hats, Christmas trees, or stars connected by a cord, and hey presto, you have a unique garland! It's also a great activity to do with children.

Miniature Christmas Stockings

Hang them on the fireplace or tree, or slip little notes and candy inside. These mini socks are super quick to knit and adorable to give as gifts.

Our tips for successful knitted decorations

• Choose suitable threads : choose cotton or non-stretch wool for better hold.
  

• Add a little shine : a lurex thread or discreet beads give a magical touch.
  

• Think about blocking : Block your stars and snowflakes so they are flat and neat.
  

• Hang them beautifully : a simple gold thread or linen string is enough to show them off.
  
  

Offer or display your creations!

A hand-knitted decoration is a gift that touches the heart. Slip a few into your wrapping, create sets for your loved ones, or hang them around your home. It's also a great way to introduce knitting to those around you.
