This tiny sweater ornament with snowflake embroidery is a great way to learn both raglan sweater construction and duplicate stitch embroidery. The pattern includes a chart for the snowflake but any small chart can be used, or the sweater can be decorated in other ways! This is a great pattern to use up leftovers of sock yarn or other fingering weight scraps as it uses only a few grams for each tiny sweater.
