Christmas Sweater Ornaments to Knit

December 3, 2013 by Sarah White

A recent Red Heart email featured that company’s Best Guy Sweater Ornament, a cute little striped sweater that’s perfect for the tree or a gift bag.

Which reminded me of my Christmas Vest Ornament (I would swear I’ve knit one with arms, but there’s no pattern I can find so I must not have), which sent me on a hunt for more adorable sweaters you can knit for your tree. Enjoy.

I love this little sweater with needlefelted tree on it, from Natural Suburbia. She used handspun for hers, too, which would add another nice layer of homemadeness.

Lion Brand makes a garland out of adorable tiny sweaters that spell out the word NOEL, though of course you could make as many as you want to spell whatever word you like.

Knit and Make has a set of three cute little jumpers: one plain, one cabled and one with a snowflake motif.

And the Ravelry downloads: there’s a sweet top-down mini raglan by Heather Hoefle and the similar Cheers by Cheryl Niamath, either of which would be a great way to learn this technique if you’ve never tried it before; Anne Ross’ mini sweater ornament, which adds a touch of embroidery to the front; and the Bitsy Sweater by Daphne Puerto, which has been used to make lots of adorable variations.

I hope these patterns inspire you to put a little knitting on your tree!

Bookmark Knitting Patterns

It’s always a good time for a bookmark, and even more so as we start thinking about back to school time. Reading is more fun when you have a pretty bookmark. That’s just science. 

Plus bookmarks are fast, portable, and a fun way to try out different skills. So let’s get busy with some bookmark knitting patterns!

This set of three bookmark knitting patterns from Lucky Fox Knits includes one worked in garter stitch, an easy eyelet lace and one with eyelets running down the center. I love the little I-cord for the tassel!

Add a simple textured stitch to a bookmark to make it a little more fun. This one from Franciscan Gypsy is called the paper towel bookmark, and I’ll bet you can pick it out above just from that description. This one calls for fingering weight yarn. 

Another pretty allover pattern is this slip-stitch lace design from Handy Little Me. Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Speak Now, it’s a sweet little design worked in fingering weight yarn. This one is a little extra fun because it has two tassels. 

I love this undulating wheat ear bookmark pattern from KMKnits Shop. It’s an interesting stitch pattern perfect for advanced beginner knitters, and it uses sport weight yarn. 

A lot of knit bookmarks have a bit of lace, and they’re actually a great way to pick up some lace knitting skills on a tiny project that doesn’t have to be perfect. I like this lacy one from Val Knitting Shop, which is inspired by daisy petals. It calls for fingering weight yarn. 

The Jasmine Bookmark from Valentina Fezova-Georgieva is another pretty lace pattern that’s a little more complex but still totally doable. It calls for fingering weight yarn and is available on Ravelry.

If you want a more literal inspiration of flowers in your bookmark pattern, try the pair of floral bookmarks form Warm and KnittedS. One has a little rosette and the other just has leaves. They look like I-cord but they’re actually worked flat on two needles and will stitch up in no time for a last minute gift or to tuck into your latest read.
