Lay two baby socks (with heels) together and fold the tops over so that they form the sleeves. Slightly, very slightly, overlap one over the other where the buttons of the sweater would be. Hot glue the two together and hot glue the folds that formed the sleeve so they stay in place.
Hot glue two small buttons onto the front and a patch to make it look old and worn. Put a small bow on the top.
I made the coat hanger out of craft wire and used two mini clothes pins to hold it on.
Here is the poem if you have trouble reading above:
Poem on sweater:
An elf that came with Santa
last year on Christmas Eve,
Was helping fill the stockings
when he bumped against the tree
An ornament swayed and fell,
rolled underneath the chair
and the little elf was saddened
at the spot that now was bare
he tried to think of what to do
and had no idea any better
than to quickly fill the empty space
with his little elfin sweater!

If you'd like to do it in team colors here is another poem that can be adapted:
Nick Saban came with Santa
last year on Christmas Eve,
and was helping fill the stockings
when he bumped against the tree
An ornament swayed and fell,
rolled underneath the chair
The football coach was saddened
at the spot that now was bare
he tried to think of what to do
and had no idea any better
than to quickly fill the empty space
with his Roll Tide Christmas sweater!

or
Tommy Tuberville came with Santa
last year on Christmas Eve,
and was helping fill the stockings
when he bumped against the tree
An ornament swayed and fell,
rolled underneath the chair
The football coach was saddened
at the spot that now was bare
he tried to think of what to do
and had no idea any better
than to quickly fill the empty space
with his War Eagle Christmas sweater!
