Tiny Cheer

Another one in the category of great as an ornament or to decorate a gift is this sweet little Chirstmas vest ornament. It knits up in a flash with less than two yards of lightweight yarn, making it a perfect use for those little tiny bits of leftover yarn you don't know what to do with but don't want to throw out, either (you could make it in any yarn weight you like, just use corresponding needles and know that you'll get a bigger finished product when you use a bulkier yarn).

Another cute idea for this project is to use it as the gift tag: just stitch the recipient's initial on the front of the vest and you're ready to go. It could also be knit in team colors rather than Christmas colors for a more personalized gift.
