Christmas knitting for cosy December days

There’s something special about Christmas knitting. Beautiful patterns, classic festive colours and soft yarns feel right at home in December. Knit a Christmas jumper for yourself or someone you love, choosing from traditional patterns or simpler designs you can wear throughout the winter.

Christmas knitting doesn’t have to mean a big project either. A small knitted decoration, a pair of warm socks or a gift on the needles can be just as enjoyable. Half the pleasure is the cosy time spent knitting, preferably with your yarn basket within reach and something warm in your mug.

Ideas for your next Christmas knit

  • Knit a classic Christmas jumper with festive patterns and colours
  • Choose soft wool yarn in red, green, cream and other wintry shades
  • Knit matching Christmas jumpers for the family
  • Play with colourwork and different colour combinations
  • Download one of our free knitting patterns and let it guide you from the very first stitch

Find yarn and patterns for Christmas knitting

The yarn you choose helps give your Christmas knit just the right look. Wool yarn is a lovely choice for warm Christmas jumpers, but you can of course choose whichever yarn quality and colours you prefer for your project. Classic red and green bring plenty of festive spirit, while cream, grey and natural shades can give Christmas motifs a calmer look.

Remember to check your knitting tension before you really get started. It may not be the most festive part of the project, but a small tension swatch can make a big difference to the finished result.
