2021 Christmas ornament

This is definitely my 2021 Christmas ornament! I love the way it looks, and the pattern is pretty simple. Please feel free to try it out, and if you find any mistakes in the pattern, please let me know.

Because I'm so poor with choosing names, I'm using the date that I designed the ornament. It works for me!
