Christmas comes but once a year, let’s celebrate with some yarn-filled cheer! Today’s ornaments are all about celebrating the season, with an amigurumi mug (a cup of cheer! Get it?), an adorable Christmas tree, and a jaunty Santa hat ornament. Later this week, I’ll have a roundup featuring all twelve ornaments in this series that has become a seasonal favorite, so for now, I’ll leave you with this final set of patterns, all of which can be hooked up in a single short sitting. Perfect for the last week before Christmas!
