Ugly Sweaters have become a staple of the holiday season. As a follow up to last year’s The Best of the Worst – Ugly Sweaters 2014, Kim Cameron, winner of national awards for her ugly sweaters, once again shows the creativity and fun in holiday sweaters. From a melting snowman to happy go lucky gingerbread man, these designs will knock your stockings off. This year, Kim expands into accessories to dress up your sweaters – a matching set of a Christmas tree sweater and hat as well as scarf featuring our favorite bug-eyed reindeer. Each design is made from the same basic pattern – duplicate stitch and a bit of creative crafting brings every ugly sweater to life.
But don’t stop there! Embellish your ugly sweater with 3D elements, add flashing lights or keep the designs basic and the colors garish to ensure gasps of delight as you transform ugly into joyous this season.
There are five different sweaters included in this free eBook: A Christmas tree (with a matching hat), a gingerbread man, a holiday wreath, an ode to joy, and a melting snowman, plus a reindeer scarf. The Kit Builder shows the yarn requirements for the Christmas tree sweater and hat; please see the eBook for the other sweaters’ yarn, colors, and yardage.
