DELLA is a little star ornament to make and enjoy this holiday season. This project is a good opportunity to use up some leftover yarn.

Make one or many, use them as tree ornaments, string them up into a festive bunting, use on top of wrapped gifts - it is all up to your imagination. :-)

I named this pattern after Della from ‘The Gift of the Magi’ - a heartwarming short story by  O.Henry, an amazing storyteller of all times.
