Knit classic Christmas jumpers: eight free knitting patterns

You can't beat a Christmas jumper, and we have eight free knitting patterns, designed by Sarah Hatton for Patons, for you to choose from: four Christmas classic designs, all for adults or children.

Knitted in Patons Fab Big DK, customise the basic pattern with a crew-neck or polo-neck and add one of four fabulously festive finishing touches: a Christmas tree adorned with bobbles, Santa with loopy beard, snowman sporting a cosy scarf or a reindeer complete with red nose and antlers. There are sizes available for all the family from child to adults with the option of a crew or polo neck.

These fun sweaters are sure to make an appearance year after year and guaranteed to bring a smile to their faces on Christmas morning!
