These little ornaments are quick to make and look great as present toppers or you can make a bunch of them and do a garland. I used a DK wool and a 4mm hook for these ornaments, but you can use any yarn and corresponding hook size to make them. Just note the star and heart ornaments look 100% better after blocking so I suggest using a yarn that is easily blocked like wool or cotton.
