A look at ALL of the Ornaments of Christmas (and a surprise 25% off sale!)

This post is brought to you by Lion Brand Yarn, which also provided yarn support.

Knit or crochet some adorable ornaments to trim your tree! Get your hands on this collection of 24 knit and crochet patterns for Christmas ornaments. Each ornament doubles as a great gift topper or stocking stuffer!

It’s hard to believe I’ve been working on what became this 24-pattern collection for four years! Four years ago, I was still working as a librarian (details), my age started with the number 2, and my knit & crochet design career was just starting to get serious. As we’ve wound down the series this season, it’s been kind of cool to look back at how my approach to design has evolved, and how much easier designing these little things got over the years. To avoid waxing on and/or sounding like a broken record, I’ll direct you to the Ornaments of Christmas archive page for the full story about how the series got started. Right now, let’s focus on taking a look at all 24 ornaments and let you in on a little sale we’ve got going to celebrate the finale of the Ornaments of Christmas!

Save 25% on all ornament patterns in the Shop!

Maybe you didn’t know there’s a shop on Hands Occupied? It’s something I started in earnest earlier this year, and now it’s grown, bit by bit, to include workshops, a few knitting and crochet kits, and PATTERNS! In the Shop, there are dozens and dozens of pattern PDFs featuring the patterns released here on the Hands Occupied Blog. I’m still working through adding my full archive of blog patterns from before the Shop existed, but that’s ok! (Podcast listeners, you might recall my hand-wringing over my anxiety about still having some to get to, haha! ) More patterns are added every week I can spare a few hours to format the pattern PDF and add the shop listing, so right now there are over 50 items in the Hands Occupied Shop, including all of the ornaments and patterns from 2018.

If you want to check out the Shop, now is the perfect time. Our hashtag for the ornament series is now your golden ticket! Grab yourself an ornament pattern (or, you know, all 24) for less than a dollar each. Just use HANDSOCCUPIEDHOHOHO at checkout to save 25% on ALL the mini ornament patterns. Each ornament can be made in an evening, which makes the ornament patterns the perfect selfish gift to give yourself for working crazy hard during this busy time of year.

And that’s not all, as they say. Since the Mini Fandom Sweater patterns have been so popular on Instagram this month, I’ve set it up so they are also eligible for 25% off using HANDSOCCUPIEDHOHOHO. Because let’s be honest, mini sweaters make perfect ornaments!
