Christmas Gingerbread Houses and Mini Sheep Baubles

These sets of cheerfully bright gingerbread houses and bobbly mini-sheep Christmas decorations look lovely hanging on the Christmas tree or against a wall for a pop of bright colour and texture. They're knitted using yarn left over from making our Winter Fairy and Christmas Angel dolls, so this is a nice way to use up the leftover yarn if you’ve already made that project. Otherwise you can use any chunky weight yarn you like!

The patterns are simply written and take you step-by-step through knitting the textured stitch of the mini-sheep, a great way to learn new knitting skills and make Christmas presents for friends. The little houses knit up quickly and can be decorated with sequins so they glitter in the light. Houses measure 11cm tall, mini-sheep are 9cm tall and 13cm long
