A mini Christmas sweater is decorated in four ways: snowman, Santa, fairy and tree.
The sweater is worked in two pieces, with cuff and collar picked up and knitted on.
Santa has garter stitch beard, snowman has garter stitch scarf, fairy has garter stitch wings, and tree is decorated with star and beads.

Finished Sizes
height - 9cm (3 1/2in), cuff to cuff - 12cm (4 1/2in).

Stitches Used
Cast on and off, stocking stitch, garter stitch (knit every row), increasing - knit into front and back of stitch (diagram), decreasing - k2tog (diagram), picking up stitches.

Materials
Yarn - Any Double Knitting (DK) weight yarn.
I used wool DK for the red, dark green and pink. You also need one white and one dark green brushed or mohair-type yarn (around DK-weight or thicker), a white bobble or snow-effect DK yarn (I used Sirdar Snuggly Bubbly), and a white sparkly yarn (I used Sirdar Pearls DK). Plain DK could be used instead of these three textures.

Yarn amounts - these mini sweaters use small amounts of each yarn; all four can be made from one ball of each of red, white, and dark green, together with a small oddment of pink (if you don't use the fancy texture yarns).

1 pair of 3.25mm (US size 3) needles.
