Quick to knit for tree and package trimming - and with simple beading techniques.  This is a good first-time beading project if you have never knitted with beads.  

Fingering weight yarn, 2 U.S. needles, size 8/0 seed beads. Finished size approximately 4" long overall.

Yarn suggestions:  (F)

• Serenity cotton/rayon - Make a bevy of these in this yarn (8 oz./700 yds./skein!) and don't worry about moths from year to year!
• Kollage Luscious cotton sock yarn - a wonderfully soft, yarn available in Snowy as shown on the left or treat yourself to red ornaments knitted in Cherry.
