Little sweaters/ jumpers make really cute decorations, cards and banners/ bunting for all sorts of occasions including Christmas, weddings, birthdays and new baby gifts.

The Merry Christmas Banner is one of the designs included in my e-book

The basic sweater is very quick to knit and this pattern includes lots of different variations, including:
-Charts for full alphabet and numbers
-Charts for Christmas/ holiday pictures- i.e. Christmas tree, snowman, Rudolf, bauble, robin Halloween pumpkin faces
-witch’s hat and spider to use for Halloween banner
-Instructions for Santa style sweater
-Charts for other pictures- i.e. owl, pirate skull, heart
-Instructions for 4 different styles of sleeves for the sweaters

You can use this pattern to make bespoke cards and gifts for your family and friends or decorations for your own home. The pattern includes lots of photos of items I’ve made to help give you some inspiration.

Full Instructions, with lots of photos, are also included for making up the sweaters into the following items:
-hanging/ tree decorations
-vertical and horizontal banners/ bunting - including the Merry Christmas bunting
-5 different styles of greeting cards

You can use any wool for the sweaters- different weights of wool will give different sizes- a rough idea of the sizes is given below.
