The Rudolph Sweater - knitting pattern

Details

This Christmas knit sweater pattern is the perfect cosy jumper to get you into the festive spirit. It’s giving ‘holidays’ without looking like tinsel threw up all over you lol! It has a relaxed, oversized fit which makes you feel warm and cosy on cold winter days. This modern knitting pattern will be a staple piece for you in the lead up to Christmas and I can’t wait to wear mine on the big day!

This knitting pattern is suitable for advanced beginners / intermediate knitters. You need to know techniques such as colour work (I used the intarsia method), decrease stitches, seaming, working in the round and picking up stitches. If you do get stuck there is a link to a video tutorial inside.

This knit pattern has available sizes from XS - 2XL, suitable for bust sizes 28 - 50”

There are photos included throughout the pattern to help you along the way.
