The Sweater Flight Coaster set is a charming and educational mini project that turns scrap sock yarn or mini skeins into a series of tiny, functional sweaters—perfect for adding a cozy, handcrafted touch to your kitchen or gifting as a thoughtful housewarming present. Each coaster in the set is designed to mimic a full-size sweater using one of four classic sweater construction techniques: raglan, circular yoke, drop shoulder, and set-in sleeve. Despite their small size, these mini garments are knit with the same shaping principles and structure as life-sized sweaters, offering knitters a clever and low-commitment way to explore a wide range of techniques. Whether you’re curious about seamless versus pieced construction, top-down versus bottom-up methods, or colorwork like stranded knitting and intarsia, this set gives you hands-on practice with all of the above—without the time or yarn investment of a full sweater. The result is not only a set of adorable and practical coasters that protect your surfaces while sparking conversation, but also a deeper understanding of garment construction in a compact, fun format. Perfect for using up leftover yarn and flexing your knitting skills, Sweater Flight Coasters are equal parts study, stashbuster, and stylish home accessory. They make excellent gifts for knitters and non-knitters alike, especially when paired with a mug or a tin of tea, and are sure to bring a smile wherever they land.
