Meet Little Flurries: a toddler-sized, DK, envelope-neck version of the Snow Day jumper. I’ve kept the uneven hem, to cover nappy-enhanced bottoms, and added a traditional neckline welcoming to even the most enormous of heads. Instead of thumb holes, the toddler version offers an optional foldover mitten, for quick trips outside when wrestling with real mittens is a step too far. And, of course, I’ve had a lot of fun with the bobbles. The Christmas version - outrageously silly as it is - is my favourite.

At its most festive, this is the jumper that gives you a cosy crafternoon with the little people in your life. Knit it for them, then present it to them with a jar of buttons, tinsel, embroidery silks, little trinkets - the more the merrier. Show me a 3-5 year old who wouldn’t want to wear a jumper with a Christmas tree that they’d decorated all by themselves on the front. And for the under 3s, you get to retain full creative control, as there will probably be too many choking hazards involved for them to get involved. But as long as everything is securely sewn on, there’s no reason why even the tiddliest toddlers can’t be dressed for the festive season.

Or you can knit one of the three everyday options: bobbles in the same colour as the rest of the jumper, no bobbles at all, or a two-tone version with darker sleeves and bobbles against a lighter body.

Suitable for all the little flurries in your life.

This pattern is aimed at confident beginners. The pattern includes full instructions in plain English as well standard knitting pattern instructions for each step.

As such, this is a LONG pattern. For the convenience of experienced knitters, I have included a short version, with knitting instructions only. This is provided at the end of the PDF and can be printed off and used independently of the full beginners’ instructions.

This pattern is supported by a free 5 part photograph tutorial published throughout November 2018 and available thereafter at my blog, At Home in the Thirties.

This pattern is available in sizes 12 months, 18 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years and 5 years. (Chest sizes 22.7 (23.5, 24.3, 24.7, 25.4, 26.2)”).

An additional skein of yarn in yellow is required for the ‘lights’ on the Christmas tree version.

Additional yarn is required for the two-tone colour way.
