This is a simple design that’s a lot of fun to create. The jumper is knitted in-the-round from the bottom up and has an easy Fair Isle design across the body and sleeves. You can also knit the jumper in one colour for gorgeous results.

These make lovely little decorations for your knitting area or Christmas tree.

If you haven’t knitted colourwork before, this is an excellent pattern to cut your teeth with. If you’re nervous about garment knitting, why not knit this mini? It’s constructed in a similar way to many jumpers knitted from the bottom-up.
