Pine Tree Sachets - Final Touches

I think it looks kind of pine-y and cute to add some flecks of different color to each stripe. The Duplicate Stitch is a really easy way to do that. If you need some guidance, check out the Duplicate Stitch Tutorial.

To get from stitch to stitch, just push your needle through the sachet and out the place you want to start the next stitch.

All that's left is a jaunty tassel for the top. So, cut a piece of yarn about 12" long, and thread it down through the top of your sachet and out the side very near the top. Leave a short tail. Go back down through the top and out the side, making sure to leave a little loop.

Keep making loops the same way until you have about five of them.

Then wrap the yarn tightly around all the loops several times. Push the needle from below the wraps, up through the center of the tassel, and out the top.

 Trim the tassel and that's it!

These are adorable. One more project to squeeze in before Christmas, but I'm going to have to try!

That is so adorable! I can't wait to make a few! I love that the potpourri is stitched up inside the tree.

These are quite possibly the most adorable things I have seen in a good long time.
I can't even knit on double pointed needles, but I'm actually going to learn just so I can make some of these.

You guys come up with the best patterns xxx

These will become part of my Christmas tree forest that is quickly growing in my living room. Thanks for the great freebie.

Cute, cute! I should have used beans in my fabric soft trees last year, since the rice I added at the bottom of them doesn't really weight them down enough. Love the knitted variety of the trees!

Those are some cute little trees! I MIGHT be able to stop my last-minute Christmas knitting to get a tree or two done myself! :) Love them.

I've had a lot of fun over the past couple of weeks making these adorable trees. I was wondering if you could come up with a variation of the tree in the way of a "teepee"? Thought it would be cute with the sweet little moccassins you offered in November...Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas.
