Remember, you can use whatever materials you want to use :D Whatever makes the process easier for you! I suggest getting those candy cane colored pipe cleaners from Target and snowflakes from any craft store just to dress up the sweater a bit more :) 

Sorry if this was confusing in any way! Feel free to contact me if you need anything clarified :)
