What does a crochet garment designer do when it comes to making decorations for the Christmas tree?
She makes a crochet mini Christmas jumper as an ornament for the holidays!
I absolutely adore how quick these mini Christmas sweaters work up!
Sometimes I wish the full adult versions work up just as quick. Wouldn’t that be cool?
I have used a simple top down construction. The pattern starts with a round yoke which is then split to form a main body and two sleeves.
I think this would be a great pattern to try for a beginner crocheter who wants to get into garment making!
The principle and construction is exactly the same as top down yoke sweater although on a much smaller scale.
What can I use crochet mini Christmas jumper for?
This crochet mini Christmas jumper is such a versatile make! As you can see I have added loops to the top of mine and I am planning to hang them onto the tree when we put it up.
However, you could also make a bunch of these and string them together to make a cute bunting! You can then decorate your fire place, windows or the front door with the bunting.
You can also add one or two to your winter themed wreath for the front door.
If you are a keen crafter, you can use them for handmade Christmas cards and place them on the front.
The other great use for these mini crochet sweaters is as a gift card holder. You can simply dress your gift card in a cosy Christmas sweater before you gift it.
This way, you can add a personal touch to simple gift card for the “hard to buy for” people.
The great thing about these mini crochet Christmas jumpers is that you can also completely customise them!
You can make them bigger by simply using thicker yarn and larger hook should you need them bigger.
Secondly, you can choose colours that complement your holiday home decor. This comes in handy if you wanted to choose the recipient’s favourite colours!

Thank you so much for the Advent Calendar. What a lovely idea. I bought advent calendars for my adult family members and was wishing I had one to open too, now I do. š I’ll only download the ones I know I can use but I know they will all be inspirations to keep on crocheting.
Have a very Merry Christmas.

You are very welcome, glad you have one to open yourself
This gift from you is much appreciated. My cousin and I somehow began to exchange sweater ornaments. We laugh and say they are the best gifts ever.
I like that tradition!
