Miniature knitting is not just for Christmas....

I thought I would list some Christmassy miniature knitting.  All these are dolls house size 12th scale, so the tea cosy is about one inch high, and the stockings and Santa toy are both about 1 1/2 inches high.

Perfect for the seasonal dolls house, or to accessorise other 6 inch dolls such as bjd, Kelly, Strawberry Shortcake and so on.

Patterns are available in the Christmas knitting book, from the webpage shop.
