How can i make them so that they do not curl? The ones in the picture look perfect. My tree curls right in because its stockinette. If it did not curl i would rate it much higher.

Hi lb8man! The two halves of the tree (front and back) will curl, since they are knit in stockinette, but the tree should no longer curl once you seam each side together per the instructions. We hope this helps! Happy knitting! -Editors of AllFreeKnitting

These are so cute. I love any thing Christmassy. I can never have too many of them. I can fill my box in the closet all year long to use at the end of the year. No last minute panic that way. These will be great to have ready to go.

These ornaments are absolutely adorable and look very professionally make. They will really spruce up a tree for sure. Wonderful project to make ahead of the season.

Great last minute project! The designer gives you clear instructions and the photo demonstrates a variety of decorative ideas. Love the stripes! It's always nice to see the abbreviations written out. I especially like the satin ribbon hangers as they give the trees a more decorative look. The Rick-Rack is a very easy way to embellish the trees and safer around kids and pets. What would be a good way to attach the Rick-Rack?

These are so cute and inexpensive to make. Wouldn't these be a great way to teach your daughter or granddaughter or son how to knit while making something that will be treasured for years. I am also making some for my college bound granddaughter so that she can have something from home at Christmas while she is away from home.

Augggggh! How adorable are these little things? Guess what I will be doing for the next week. A tiny portable project is perfect for a subway commute, and I'll be able to make tons of tree decorations in a short period of time. Can't wait to think up cool embellishments. If anyone has any ideas for other decorations besides buttons or sequins, LMK.

I wonder if you could cut the stars and tiny decorations from craft foil or decorative paper instead of sequins or buttons? One time I crumpled pieces of aluminun foil to make little balls for another project, but I think something like that would be cute on these trees, too.

I love these little tree decorations - they're such a great way to use up scraps of unused wool. They would make ideal Secret Santa gifts for work or stocking fillers. Just remember little children can swallow beads and sequins so best to keep trees with those higher on the tree.
