Ugly Sweater Ornament Crochet Pattern

---

Day 10 of the 12 Days of Crochet Christmas is this fun ugly sweater ornament pattern! I love all things mini and this sweater is just too cute. I mean look at that little wreath.

I love it as an ornament but it would also make a great gift topper or garland. Feel free to use the base pattern and get creative with colours and embellishments. Have fun with it!

The pattern is worked from the top down with the sleeves and neckline added at the end and we’ll use the tails from the neckline to create the hanging loop. I glued the wreath on because of it’s size but you could try sewing it on otherwise I’d keep it out of reach of small children.

NOTES

The pattern is written using US terminology and measures approximately 2″ x 3.5″ (5cm x 9cm) when using the materials listed.

The body of the sweater is worked in joined rounds from the top down. The sleeves are added at the end and are worked in a continuous spiral without joining.

The ch 1 at the beginning of each round does not count as a stitch.

Gauge is not important in this pattern. However, using a different yarn and hook size will change the size and look of the finished item.
