Needles
3 mm (US 2.5) circular needles, length unimportant

Yarn
Calculate 5-7 g of wool yarn
Feel free to use yarn that is recommended for slightly thicker needles than 3 mm. This provides a solid construction that is attractive as a decoration. You can of course also choose much thicker yarn, but then you also have to go up a bit in needle size, and you get a larger Christmas decoration.

Suggestions for yarn that can be used:
Pickles Pure Wool
Rauma Finull PT2
Pickles Soft Merino
Hillesvåg Sol Lamull yarn
Hip Knit Shop Pop Merino
Double Silk Mohair

Size guide
Isn't it nice not to think about sizes every now and then? All the miniatures are very mini, so a bit fiddly to knit. If you want a larger Christmas decoration, you can use thicker yarn and needles.
