Everlasting Flame (pattern)

Description

The candle is worked from the top down in the round in stockinette stitch, starting at the tip of the flame.

Yarn, gauge, and recommended needles

As gauge is not critical for these ornaments, you can skip knitting a gauge swatch and use any yarn and needle size you prefer.
Choose your needle size based on the yarn's yardage (metres per gram). The thicker the yarn and the larger the needles, the larger your finished ornament will be.

Each pattern includes a small table with suggested needle sizes based on the yarn's yardage.

Stuffing

This ornament is part of my Christmas 2023 collection. The ornaments are designed to be knitted without stuffing, but you can add some if you prefer.

Materials

• Yarn of your choice for the candle and flame.
• Circular needles for casting on (optional).
• Double-pointed needles.
• Stitch markers.
• Tapestry needle.
• Ribbon or string for hanging, such as satin ribbon.
• Stuffing (optional).
• Embroidery thread, beads, ribbons, or anything else you'd like to decorate your ornament with.
