This week I found some really cute patterns for little mini sweaters and socks for Christmas ornaments. The challenge is actually being able to follow the pattern! I've got the sweaters down, and have made three already. They are really fun to do! The socks, now that's another story! I have made two grownup pairs of sox, and to make teeny tiny little ones involves quite a bit of "fussing" with double pointed needles and new methods of making a little sock that I'm not familiar with, so the sox are going to have to wait till next week. Back to the sweaters for now.....
The first two are made from worsted weight...
Here's a little sweater I embellished with a snowflake of my own design..I think it would look cute with some "bling"...like little rhinestones at the tip of each snowflake branch?
And here's my favorite so far, made from leftover sock yarn....
I'm going to make little tiny wire coat hangers to hang this on a little tree in our RV if they don't sell at the craft show and tell......still debating on whether to do a little beaded design of some sort on each sweater to add a little "sparkle" to it, since they are ornaments. The jury is still out on this one...any votes one way or another?
Those are just TOO CUTE!!!
