The Design
This free pattern shows you how super easy it is to decorate your tree with mini yarn balls. Get festive with fiber!
We found these little pins from Crystal Palace Bamboo that look like elf knitting needles!
You'll also see some yarn suggestions below, but you could use just about any yarn in your stash.
They're so quick and easy that you can make a bunch in a single session, and then have a festive little hostess gift as you visit fellow knitters and crocheters this season.
