For reference, here's how tiny it is... the SMALL Sweater is 2.5 inches in height.  

The LARGE Sweater that I made is a bit bigger -- 3 inches in height.  However, both are still soooo little compared to a regular-sized sweater, of course! 

Learn how to crochet this adorable, little Christmas Sweater, which comes in two sizes: small and big.  The easy, written pattern is also accompanied by a step-by-step video tutorial to make this DIY project perfect for beginners.  This tiny pattern is fast to work up and makes a great last-minute handmade gift or stocking stuffer using only yarn scraps or a small amount of yarn.  It can be customized as a mock fair isle design with different yarn color combinations.  This cute craft is perfect for the holiday season as a Christmas tree ornament, magnet for the fridge, applique, garland décor, keychain charm, or even as a gift tag for a present. You can recreate your favorite sweater using this pattern too!

The PDF pattern file includes instructions for both the SMALL and LARGE sweaters.  A video tutorial is also available for the small sweater.
