Create a fun mini sweater, sock, and hat that can
be used as decoration for your holiday season
(or any time of the year really!).
What's covered in this workshop?
This teachable course goes hand-in-hand with the included written Sugar Pine Decoration knitting patterns so you'll never be left wondering how to approach a section.
There are three decorations, the:
- Mini Sweater: Top-down, seamless raglan sweater
- Mini Sock: Knit in the round from the top down.
- Mini Hat: Knit in the round from the bottom up.
Included in this workshop are video tutorials for each decoration pattern, which include in-depth looks at all the techniques required for each knit.
Looking to learn a new skill?
I love knitted holiday decorations but did you know that they can also perform a second function?
A mini-version of a knitted construction is a really great way to learn how it fits together. It’s got all the part of a full size knitted piece but is knit in a fraction of the time! You can almost think of them as glorified swatches.
For example, the mini sweater. If you are new to top-down, seamless raglan sweater construction this is perfect for you. You can see how to shape the yoke, remove the sleeves, and even how to add stripes. But it’ll take you a few hours rather than a few months!
Plus as a bonus, you get a fantastic decoration to hang on your tree.

Meet Your Teacher
Carol trained initially as a textile artist and then as a structural engineer. While both of these backgrounds are very different the influences can be seen in her design work which is well-shaped, flattering to wear and enjoyable to knit.
She strives to design clothing with a difference: not overly complex, but still giving a very unique end product. She likes to work with different construction methods, so long as they enhance the knitting experience and make for a more intuitively put-together knitted item.
Carol has been widely published in books and magazine and travels the world teaching in yarn shops and fibre festivals. The classes she teaches cover a wide range of subjects from cables and chart reading, through garment shaping and customisation right through to short rows and colourwork. In her classes you'll move from learning the basics to refining your knitting skills and fixing problems.
