When I designed my first Grump 12 months ago, I hadn’t realised
just how popular he was going to become! Then when one of my test knitters suggested I make a post box tin cover, I knew he would have to be my first one.

He is knitted flat using 3mm straight needles and DK yarn. I have
used iCords for his arms, legs and monobrow. Full instructions are
contained within the pattern with colour photos throughout.

His little campfire is so simple to make but very effective and I have
included the graphics so you can print off his burnt letters to Santa.
I hope you’ll enjoy knitting him as much as I have.
