Miniature Sweater OrnamentComplimentary gift pattern from HeartStrings and Jackie E-SMiniature Sweater Ornament is a free online pattern valued at $5.00. If you like this pattern, please support the continued development of new HeartStrings knitting designs by purchasing any of the popular for-sale patterns. Visit the online Design Gallery at the HeartStrings FiberArts website for the entire collections. Note: To print this pattern, set your printer to landscape mode. This little sweater is knit from the top-down and is almost seamless. A collection of small lengths of different yarns is an excellent choice for easy one-of-a-kind results — a great way to use those workshop or goodie bag samples. If using different yarns, you can plan ahead on color or texture placement based on the order the parts of the sweater are knit (i.e. neckband and yoke, each sleeve, then body.). Some choices are light to dark, dark to light, mixture of smooth and textured, or whatever. Or just use the yarns in a serendipitous fashion, letting the colors and textures fall where they may! 
Note: gauge and needle size are not terribly important -- these are guidelines only, so use whatever you have that is close and just have fun Abbreviations and Termsk - knit
