I knitted this tiny sweater for my husband as a Christmas gift. He understood the joke right away, gave a big smile, and chuckled. Gold.

He has wanted me to knit him a sweater for so long that it has becomea running joke between us. When I saw the Tiny Sweater on WestKnits insta post, it dawned on me that I could knit him a sweater. The pattern was available on Ravelry for free, which was a bonus.

I used size 7 double pointed Clover Takumi bamboo knitting needles and yarn from MysteryMouseYarnCo on Etsy (mine was called “100 Acre Wood”).

The pattern was pretty easy, I just had to adjust my tension in certain parts. I made a first attempt and got my make-shift yarn holders tangled up so pictured is the second try.

I finished at the very last minute!

Thank you for looking.

Such a fun joke gift! Looks like it might have been tricky to knit, too.

Some parts of the pattern were… interesting, but not particularly difficult. Starting the stitches needs to be tight because that is the neck. It looks more cowl-y than I would like, but it is loads better than the first attempt.

Everything would be tangled up if I tried it. You either love one or the other and I’m the crochet lover. Your post made me smile.
