Today is Day 19 of the Mini Amigurumi Advent and today's pattern is a little Vintage Style Christmas Ornament.
Way back on day 7 we also had a Christmas ornament, but it was a ball shaped ornament, and this time I went with a different shape. I wasn't sure what exactly to call this one. But it kind of makes me think of the vintage glass Christmas ornaments, so that is what I went with. It is kind of a bubbly, icicle type ornament.
The ornament is really simple and quick to make, it uses lots of increases and decreases to create the bumpy shape. I added a little stripe around the ornament, but you can totally play around with the coloring. You could do the whole center section in a different color, or add a few stripes throughout, or you could make it all one color.
