For some inexplicable reason, I feel like I can smell a fresh pine tree when I knit these pinecones. Maybe you smell it too? I think these knitted pinecone ornaments are magical on a holiday tree but I can also see them strung on a garland, draped across a mantle or over the top of a mirror! Whether you knit them for yourself (or as a gift), I hope they bring you some holiday cheer.
