This is super cute. I love making knitted or crafted ornaments for Christmas, to hang on the tree or even for decorations for gift boxes or bags. This one would work up fast, too. I'd knit it in the recipient's favorite colors or to coordinate with tree decorations, to customize it just a bit. A really great stocking stuffer, too - and the perfect stash buster.
