Do you feel intimidated by knitting a sweater? Then this tiny sweater ornament pattern is perfect for you to learn all the basics of a top-down Raglan sweater, without the commitment that a human-size sweater requires.
This pattern is also a great way to use up those yarn scraps you’ve been saving up for a while.

This pattern has been tested by a group of prolific knitters.

Difficulty level: Advanced Beginner.
Needle size: 4mm DPNS or 4mm circular needles for the magic loop.
Suggested yarn: 28 yards/ 13 g of Any category 4 worsted weight yarn. The yarn used in the pictures is Berroco Vintage Worsted.
