This shows how to attach the hanging loop. The loop and hair plait is made from 4 ply fingering weight sock yarn. The body of this ornament is knitted with aran weight yarn which is too thick to be threaded through the flat bead.

If you are knitting the ornament with DK weight yarn you can use the DK yarn you are knitting with to create the loop by bringing a length of yarn up through the ‘neck.
