The Little Sweater is a quick, easy, and no-sew crochet pattern! It uses very little yarn and works well with multiple colors, so it’s the perfect scrap yarn project. With medium weight 4 yarn, the finished size is about 3 inches in height, though you can easily make it larger or smaller by using thicker or thinner yarn.
Customize this tiny sweater with an endless combination of yarn colors! You can easily whip up a mini sweater in your favorite sports team colors or school colors. It mimics the look of a faux knitted fair isle sweater. You can also embroider details or sew on appliques / embellishments (buttons, beads, bows).
Crochet this small sweater for a last-minute holiday gift tag, stocking stuffer, Christmas tree ornament, garland, fridge magnet, applique, keychain, or more! It also works well as a handmade product for selling at craft fairs and markets.Personalize it on the spot with an embroidered monogram!
This beginner-friendly pattern comes with step-by-step photo references as well as a complete video tutorial.
