Cheerful tiger faces on round baubles: striped heads with round ears, bead eyes, a pink nose and a fluffy white muzzle – the girl wears a polka-dot ribbon bow and the boy an embroidered fringe. Knit them in yellow or orange for the Christmas tree, as a Year of the Tiger decoration or as a little gift.
