Christmas comes but once a year, let’s celebrate with some yarn-filled cheer! Today’s ornaments are all about celebrating the season, with an amigurumi mug (a cup of cheer! Get it?), an adorable Christmas tree, and a jaunty Santa hat ornament. Later this week, I’ll have a roundup featuring all twelve ornaments in this series that has become a seasonal favorite, so for now, I’ll leave you with this final set of patterns, all of which can be hooked up in a single short sitting. Perfect for the last week before Christmas!
Don’t forget – if you’ve made any ornaments in the series this year, you can share them in our Ravelry group or Instagram with #handsoccupiedhohoho.
Jaunty Santa Hat Pattern
This collection of patterns has been seriously lacking in Santa representation thus far, so today seemed like the perfect opportunity to remedy that!
