Turn a chocolate orange into an adorable Christmas pudding character with this digital knitting pattern. The finished cover features a rounded brown pudding, snowy white icing, knitted holly leaves and berries, a cheerful face and two dangling striped legs with little brown shoes.
Designed to fit over a standard chocolate orange, the finished character can sit on the edge of a shelf, mantelpiece or table with its legs hanging down. It makes a fun stocking filler, Secret Santa gift, table decoration or handmade Christmas treat.
The cover and decorative pieces are worked flat on straight knitting needles. The legs are lightly stuffed before being attached to the base, while the facial details can be embroidered or finished with optional glue-on eyes.
This pattern is suitable for knitters comfortable with basic knit and purl stitches, simple colour changes, increasing, decreasing and assembling small knitted pieces.
