Let it snow! Hoarfrost Ornaments feature colorwork snowflake motifs over a stockinette background. Recognizing that no two snowflakes are alike, the pattern provides a selection of six motifs creating a set of similar but unique ornaments. Make one, make two, make an entire snowstorm!
Each ornament requires a polystyrene or styrofoam ball and small amounts of fingering weight yarn in the main and contrasting colors. They work up quickly and are perfect for using up leftover sock yarn! These ornaments are cleverly constructed without the necessity of awkward knitting around styrofoam balls. The ornaments are made in two sections which are later placed over a ball and grafted together using kitchener stitch. This requires a bit of patience but is much easier and enjoyable than trying to knit around a solid ball.
