Christmas decoration (+ pattern)

Only 6 weeks to go till Christmas, so you better hurry up if you want to make some Christmas decorations for your tree.
Making them yourself makes this whole period more fulfilling. It will create the Christmas atmosphere in the house, weeks in advance. With this easy pattern it will be ready in no time.
The yarn used is explained in 'Fancy up your yarn!' (cotton with sewing thread)
I have also tried the same pattern with a normal acrylic yarn (the grey ones ) but as it is not heavy enough it won't hang so nice in the tree.
Have fun!
