Want to spice up your Christmas tree this year? Your tree may need a handcrafted touch this holiday season. That's why we've dug up 10 knit and crochet Christmas ornaments that range in difficulty levels and styles. From a knit yarn basket ornament to crochet bells, there's bound to be one or three you'll want to make.
We love the little details on this crochet ornament, from the laces to the paper clip that doubles as the blades. The toughest part about this project will be figuring out where on tree you'll show these skates off!
