They were a gift to my mother-in-law Bonney, finished just a few days before the 25th.

As you can see, Nipsey doesn’t seem to agree that his cat looks like him, but he appreciates the effort and the added touch of a fish.

And Soupy is wondering when this rude intruder will get out of his personal space!

I love this simple snowman wreath that Tusulisa shared on Ravelry.

This knitter lives in Finland, where lumiukko is the word for snowman. Cute!

As always, check out the Mochimochi Shop for the pattern. (Need a last-minute gift for a knitter? Don’t forget we have downloadable gift cards in the shop too!)

Kimak on Ravelry made this hat for her son using the Santa Baby Hat pattern by Linda Permann Knit Picks Comfy Worsted yarn.

Even if you don’t have time to knit a hat before Christmas, these guys could easily be added to an existing hat to spruce it up for the holidays!
