Smallidays is a charming knitted ornament collection that brings extra warmth and whimsy to the holiday season. Each tiny design is quick, festive, and perfect for turning leftover bits of scrap yarn into something magical. It’s the perfect project for working through an advent yarn kit, letting you savor a new color each day while filling your tree with handmade cheer. You can even string these ornaments together to create a cheerful advent garland. With every stitch, Smallidays captures the cozy spirit of Christmas in adorable, miniature form.

This pattern includes a miniature sweater, hat, mitten, and scarf pattern! The pattern also includes a quick photo tutorial for adding a tassel to your hat and fringe to your scarf.

To create this little ornament collection, I worked in collaboration with Emma’s Yarn using the Smallidays 2025 - Simply Spectacular DK kit, BUT you DO NOT need an advent kit to enjoy this pattern. The Smallidays ornaments are the perfect project for stash diving!
