Colour me Christmas I, is a top-down seamless ‘choose your own adventure’ yoke sweater, with three alternatives to choose from for the main yoke pattern; stars, trees or reindeer, and a selection of six motifs for the smaller elements; holly, hearts, trees, gifts, hoho’s and an abstract geometry. The pattern is unisex with tips on how to customise the design for men and women.

Colour me Christmas I has a ribbed neckline followed by short rows at the back of the neck, that create a comfortable fit. After the stranded colourwork yoke, the stitches are divided into sleeve and body, and underarm stitches are cast on. There are multiple charts to choose from to slot into the overall main chart which is worked on the yoke and down a portion of the body and sleeves. The hem is finished off with ribbing. The cuffs feature a splash of colourwork that echoes the yoke motif. The pattern also has symbol charts to use for exploring your own colour options.
