Peace dove, 2025
About the work
The body of the dove is worked from the middle of the body and worked in two separate directions; the front part and the back part. The two wings are worked separately and attached to the body in the end.
Yarn, gauge, and recommended needles
Since the gauge of the ornaments is not crucial, you can skip the gauge swatch and work the ornaments in any yarn and with any needle size you prefer.
Adjust your needle size to the yardage of the yarn; the thicker the yarn and the bigger the needles, the bigger your finished ornament will be. In each of the patterns I have added a small table with
different suggestions to the needle size given the yardage of the yarn.
Materials
- Yarn of your choice.
- Circular needles for casting on (optional).
- Double-pointed needles (dpns).
- Stitch markers.
- Tapestry needle.
- Something to hang the ornament with, such as satin ribbon.
- Stuffing.
- (Embroidery) thread, pearls, ribbons, or what you want to decorate your ornament.
