Santa Christmas Sweater Knitting Pattern PDF Childs Jumper DK Age 3mths - 7 years

Create a cheerful Christmas sweater featuring a large knitted Santa face across the front. With his bright red hat, rosy cheeks, fluffy white beard and friendly expression, this festive design is perfect for Christmas outings, family photographs and handmade gifts.

The sweater is knitted in DK yarn using stocking stitch, with comfortable 2×2 ribbed cuffs, hem and round neckline. A two-button opening at the back of the neck makes dressing younger children easier.

The Santa design is worked from a clear 58-row colour chart using the intarsia method. The sweater is knitted flat in separate pieces on straight needles and seamed during finishing.

The sage-green version shown demonstrates how the design can look in an alternative main colour; you can choose any shade to create your own personalised Christmas sweater.
