Knitting Basket Ornament
This knitting basket ornament is so simple to make, and it makes a perfect gift for someone who loves to knit. You can use any color yarn, just see what yarn scraps you have. The Christmas ornament does look good with some red and green yarn balls in it though. This will look so cute hanging on your tree this year!  Things Needed:
1.
Begin by making the yarn balls. To begin to roll a ball, first wrap the
yarn around your finger a few times. Then slide these loops off your
finger and begin to wrap the yarn around the loop, in the middle. Then,
fold this in half and keep rolling the yarn around and around. Don’t
make your yarn balls too big. This ornament looks cuter when there are
several small balls as opposed to 3 or 4 big balls of yarn.
2. Use some glue to attach the end of the yarn to the ball.  3. After making about 6 or 7
balls, glue two cotton balls to the inside of the basket. This puts
some stuffing in the basket so you don’t have to make as many yarn
balls.  4. Next, arrange in all the yarn
balls, and glue them in place. Put some on top of one another, and make
sure you are covering up all the cotton .  5. Cut a length of ribbon to fit around the basket. Glue this in place.  6. Place the two hat pins in the
yarn, near each other. These are the knitting needles.  7. Add a craft cord for hanging
and it’s done! Return from Knitting Basket Ornament to Christmas Crafts
