From the webpage: > "I designed these little hanging > decorations to add some colourful, > homespun Hooky Goodness to my > Christmas Tree this season, but > there's no reason why they can't be > used all year round and in all sorts > of ways. I've had suggestions for > using them as baby rattles, baby > mobiles, as tags on wrapped gifts, or > simply just as little decorative gifts > to pass on to friends and family. > > These are quick and satisfying little > things to work up, ideal to use up > those little itty bits of stash yarn > that you might have lurking somewhere. > I personally prefer to use cotton yarn > for making decorations (here I've used > Rico Creative Cotton), but any yarn > would be fine. I also tend to switch > down a hook size for making > decorations which keeps the stitches > quite tight and prevents the polyester > stuffing showing through the gaps.
