Little kids just love to wear Christmas sweaters!
Rudolph with his little red nose takes centre stage on this festive tank.

A simple striped back and no sleeves make this a fast little project.

0-3m 3-6m 6-12m 1-2years 2-3 years 3-4 years

These picture knits are worked flat and seamed for easy intarsia knitting. If you are a new knitter and not quite ready to work in intarsia this time, simply Swiss darn (duplicate stitch) Rudolph onto your little vest after knitting.

Choose any 4 Ply yarn (or sport yarn) that knits on 3.25mm (US3) needles to the tension listed below.
The sweater shown here was knitted in Bergere De France Caline 4ply.
