Pattern Description:

This little christmas pudding with holly leaves and berries looks good enough to eat but without the calories. Quick and easy to make knitted flat with 2 needles. I hate sewing up my knitting so I used moss stitch for the pudding, to not only give it a great texture, but it is very hard to see the join. The leaves on top are also great for placing over the seam on the icing, so it doesn't matter if you are not the greatest at sewing, as nobody can see!! These look so lovely on any Christmas tree and are great to give as gifts or for charity fundraising.
