This adorable little sweater ornament is just TOO CUTE! Requires a total of about 17 yards of worsted weight yarn. Overall size is about 3” tall x 5” wide, accounting for the sleeves. They’re perfect for hanging on the tree, stringing on garland, adorning a wreath, or using as charming gift toppers! (May even fit some dolls and toys!)

Simple pattern works up into a mini sweater in just a few rounds of stitches. Instructions given for a few different stripe options—or make a solid color one and embroider an initial on the front! Super fun in a variegated yarn too! I often prefer acrylic for items like this, as it won’t attract insects in storage and tends to make a sturdier piece. But there is no reason you couldn’t use a blend or a lovely natural fiber to create a special, heirloom-quality gift. While I recommend a heavier worsted weight yarn, experimenting with different yarn and hook sizes can yield a range of beautiful results.
