Notes

Cute little ornament sweater. Something most seasoned knitters could work out on their own, but I have neither the mind nor patience for it and am more than happy to let others do that work for me. :)

Knit up in a few hours (with lots of breaks). My plan is make one for every project I completed and had leftover yarn with this year.

Notes’ Notes

diamonds I didn’t have any size 0 needles so I used bamboo 1s, magic loop style. And made a point of knitting tightly.

diamonds For the plastic balls I have, I would need to knit the neck a bit shorter. I made the pattern as written, so a few mods could make it perfect. Or I could just go buy some standard ornaments. :)

diamonds My ribbing always has issues. To prevent the laddering between the knits and purls, I twisted the purls. Between that and the tight gauge, the ribbing was perfect.
