About the Pattern
A festive children’s jumper featuring a Christmas tree motif on the front, decorated with colourful baubles and topped with a pompom tree topper. Knitted in double knitting (DK) wool, the jumper is designed to fit children from 2 to 13 years old and has a classic, easy to wear shape that suits all ages. The neckline, cuffs, and hem are finished with ribbed edgings, giving a stretchy fit that keeps its shape beautifully through wear and washing. The pattern is written in English and supplied as a digital download PDF.
