Mini Sweater Ornament

 I love Christmas!

I love putting our tree up, pumping Christmas songs, and getting all the ornaments out.

I wanted to add a few mini ornaments to add to our tree this year.

Here is the first of many: The Mini Sweater Ornament.

This pattern is very easy and identical to how you would 

crochet a sweater in panels.

You can also make this in one solid colour instead of stripes, the options 

are endless.

Notes:

-The front and back panels are made first, then seamed at the shoulders.

-The sleeves are worked flat right onto the seamed panels

-the mini sweater is folded in half and seamed under each sleeve and each side

-the mini hangers can be found on Amazon (I used my daughters doll clothes hanger..lol)

-this is a great project to use with scrap yarn, it doesn't use much at all.

Let's get started so you can hang it up on your tree tonight!
