You can use leftovers of lace, fingering, sport, or worsted weight yarn with beads or without beads, with a little stripe of color or without! You will need four double pointed needles in the following sizes (or the sizes you need to obtain the gauges on the pattern): 2, 5, or 7. You can work these ornaments up quickly to use up leftovers or new skeins of yarn. They look great on a package, on the tree, hanging in a window and make great little gifts!
