Free Christmas knitting patterns you’re sure to love

I know. We’ve barely said goodbye to Summer so it might seem somewhat premature to be focussed on the festive season. I do have my reasons though. Firstly, if you’re anything like me, you will need lots of time to actually finish making anything you decide to start. Particularly if you’re planning to make a set of anything, like decorations for your tree – or a fair isle Christmas dress!

Secondly, I’m coming to realise, as I get to know more of you from your messages, how super organised and hungry for creative ideas many of you are. So I’m thinking you might already be planning your Christmas projects. Or at least starting to put together some ideas for this. Either way, it makes sense to share the wonderful free Christmas knitting patterns I’ve been squirrelling away with you sooner rather than later. Plus, we did have the first frosty morning today, so it feels palatable now. Hope you enjoy! x
