Christmas Sweater Ornaments to Knit

by

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!

Adorable Ghost Knitting Patterns

Adding a bit of knitting to your fall decor is a lot of fun, whether it’s knit pumpkins or a bunch of adorable knit ghosts like these.

Knit ghosts can be super simple like this free ghost knitting pattern from Trixie Zynch on Ravelry. Using about 50 yards of worsted weight yarn, they’re worked from the bottom up and are super cute as a pair. 

This fuzzy little ghost from Forest Knitting Toys is holding a pumpkin and wearing a witch hat, though of course the accessories are optional, as is the fuzzy yarn. The main yarn is chunky and the ghost measures about 10 cm/4 inches tall. It’s worked in the round. 

Another fuzzy ghost in more of a Pacman style is this ghost plushie form South Stitch Girls. It’s worked in the round with bulky yarn and includes a sweet little bow you can make in whatever color you like. 

The ghost doll from Edith Grace Designs has little arms and a curl at the top of its head. The body is worked flat using DK weight yarn and you could also work it in glow in the dark yarn for extra fun. The body and head are worked in one piece with the arms knit separately. 

The Grim Grinning Ghosts from Susan Claudino are super cute and you can knit them in any yarn and gauge you like to make ghosts of different sizes. These are worked in the round with the body done in one piece and the arms are knit separately. The ghosts shown were knit in sock yarn, DK and worsted weight yarn. You can find the pattern on Ravelry.

Make a ghost with funny striped legs with this ghost shelf sitter design from Claire Fairall Designs. It’s worked in three colors of DK weight yarn, and the letters spelling out boo are made with strips of garter stitch sewn into shape.
