Daring: The 'Throw Everything At It' One
Designer Kim Cameron has won national awards for her ugly sweaters - that’s serious dedication to the craft! There’s something disconcerting about the reindeer’s bulging eyes… Fancy giving it a go? The pattern is free!
Darling: The 'Keep It Classy' One
Similar to designs you’ll see on the high street this year, this classy red-and-white number is knitted using stranded colourwork techniques across the yoke to create a Nordic-inspired
knit. Get the free pattern today.
Daring: The 'Does This Suit Me?' One
TV presenter Matt Baker doesn’t look entirely convinced about this jazzy number. Get the free pattern here.
Darling: The 'Mrs Weasley' One
Mrs Weasley ensured no one felt the cold at Christmas with her annual presentation of oversized initial sweaters, although she did have enchanted needles to help! Knit your own here.
Daring: The 'Squish My Pom-Poms' One
Let’s face it: it’s the row of squishable red pom-pom noses that turn this Rudolph jumper from forgettable to fantastic. Find the free pattern here.
Darling: The 'Subtle Snowflake' One
Use lace stitches to create this gorgeous snowflake design. The pattern can be downloaded here.
Daring: The 'I'm Really A Tree' One
