A new day, a new pumpkin ;-)
You must admit that this sweater pumpkin is a cute idea :)
But I suppose that because of the many craft ideas for old sweaters you don’t have none at home anymore ;-)

I find the square baby sweater cute!
It is a charity pattern, but I’m sure that you can knit it also for your baby grandchild :)

It seems to be pretty easy to make a beautiful cowl from an old sweater.
The ‘beautiful cowl’ surely depends also from the original look of the sweater ;-))
What to do with the ugly Christmas sweaters you may still have?
Quite simple: you make them still more kitschy and then a party where the ugliest will be awarded ;-))
When I’ve seen the Aran sweater tea cozy I’d nearly started knitting – though I never drink tea from a teapot ;-))

I find these mini sweaters cute – and perfectly suited as gift tags ;-)

Well, I find the turban a simple yet elegant solution about what to do with an old cozy sweater ;-)

Well, it’s mentioned as an leftover sweater because every diamond can be worked from another yarn of your stash.
But I find the ‘construction’ of the sweater interesting ;-)
Because I haven’t understood the sketch until I’ve cut and folded it from scrap paper, see here a picture on how the sweater should look:
I will have to give it a try somewhen ;-))
If you don’t like it (or don’t have a stash big enough ;-)), see what else you can do with your stash kann.

What do the five sweaters and jackets from the picture have in common?
They’re all made following the same instruction!
Unfortunately I could never finish such a big item ;-)
By the way, I got to know the instruction when I found the Crazy Lace Cardigan, but I absolutely wanted to present the instruction once more separately ;-)
Addendum: Kalinumba told us that there is a (German) online calculator for the Raglan sweater.
We don’t have to calculate ourselves, there ;-)

I’m completely amazed by these ‘trophies’! ;-)
I’m sure that you can make the shape yourself, e.g. from recycled cardboard and tape or even plaster.
If you don’t like this so much, you still can make sweater boots, a scarf from your old sweater or you can unravel it for the yarn ;-)
