Description:

Wondering what to do with all that leftover sock yarn? Make miniature ornaments! This is a swap for a 3D knitted or crocheted mini sweater, mini stocking or mini mitten ornament (or for those who don't have trees, a cute window shade pull or gift topper) out of sock or lace yarn. It should be ornament size (approx 3-6") with a loop or hanger to hang it from the tree or package. While the base should be knitted or crocheted, feel free to incorporate stitch patterns, intarsia and decorative elements into its design. Please, no religious iconography or symbols. You will have one partner for this swap.

Requirements: Welcome to semi-newbies who know how to knit or crochet the above item(s.) You must have a completed profile, at least 3 swaps successfully completed (1 should be handcrafted item in a mail swap), a 4.8+ rating and no "no-sends" in the past 3 months. This project does take some time, so please consider carefully before committing. There will be another swap later in which you can participate if now doesn't work for you. Please note, I will remove anyone whose ratings don't meet the requirements.

Here are several free patterns to get you inspired: http://www.auctionartists.com/koiguminisweater.pdf
