Miniature Ice Skates

We love the little details on this crochet ornament, from the laces to the paper clip that doubles as the blades. The toughest part about this project will be figuring out where on tree you'll show these skates off!

Crochet Bird Ornament

This cute ornament could be a challenge to crochet, as you'll have to work through the four different colors. Of course, you don't have to use all the colors, but where's the fun in that? The end results will definitely be worth the effort, and may even be a most admired piece this year!
