Upon hearing that MOST’s Holiday Adopt-A-Family program which has brought some much needed holiday cheer to nearly 200 families of multiples and 1000 children in need in it’s 9 years of existence was underfunded to the point of perhaps not being able to continue to operate past it’s 10th year, I thought you and I could do something about that through our love of knitting ;0)

In the spirit of giving, I designed this trio of sweet seamless yoked sweaters with holiday-themed finger puppet buddies and pockets for the benefit of MOST’s holiday Adopt-A-Family program.

The pattern includes instructions to knit the sweater for babies and toddlers as well as instructions for all three holiday-themed pockets (north pole, ski slopes, and gift box) and finger puppet buddies (elf, penguin, and snowman).

The pattern is available for free with any contribution to MOST’s Adopt-A-Family program.

Hint! The pockets and buddies are also perfectly sized to adorn my Buddy Bags too if you need a quick knit.
