SWEATER ORNAMENTS

Knit Simple Holiday 2011 #14
Design by Loretta Dachman

The only time it’s OK to shrink a sweater is when you’re making these adorable adornments. The pullovers are worked in the round with raglan sleeve shaping (the central cable is optional); the cardigans are knit back and forth in one piece, with held stitches for the sleeves. As you would with a full-scale garment, customize the look by choosing contrasting colors for the yoke, sleeves and cuffs, and rib the collar (or not) at will.
