Reindeer jumper

M

onica Russel has created a sweet knit designed to

make mums, dads and little ones smile from ear

to ear this Christmas. Add texture to the yoke of

your jumper with a sweet cable effect, worked over an 8 -row

pattern, and add a touch of Scandi style with colourwork reindeer,

prancing and dancing along the bottom. Perfectly timed for the

colder months, this winter woolly is knitted in the softest merino,

and makes an adorable gift for treasured family and friends.
