These cute sweetie covers are fun to make and are perfect for a tube of sweets.
If you don’t want to use sweetie tubes, they can be stuffed with toy stuffing.
They can also be used as crackers. Make a tube with cardboard, a cereal packet is perfect, but make sure the writing is on the inside. You can add little treats, hat and joke inside it.

The PDF pattern includes instructions for all three covers. They are simple and easy to knit, ideal for a beginner. They are ideal for charity knits and unique handmade gifts.
The covers measure approximately 30 cm.

The covers fit a 115g/ 120g sweet tube perfectly

The covers are knitted with DK yarn on 3.25 mm needles. Each cover takes about 20 g of wool, so the 25g balls are excellent for this lovely project. You don’t have to use the same colours as I have, you can mix, do stripes and add embellishments such as bells and bows. If you are knitting a few of these, Stylecraft Special DK have some lovely colours. You can also use fluffy wool for the beard. I used James C Brett Faux Fur.

They can be used in Christmas Eve boxes, placed on a tree, used a stocking filler, or just randomly around the house, keep refilling with chocolate so you can sneak a sweetie whenever you go past! They can also be ideal for Secret Santa filled with Adult chocolate!

You will need:
3.25 mm needles
