Christmas Morning Sweater

Christmas Morning Sweater is part of our 2025 Christmas collection.  The sweater is a fun and playful Christmas sweater featuring little presents with i-cord bows around the bottom of the body.  It is worked using 1 strand of Merino + 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout. 

The sweater is worked in the round from the top down with a round yoke and you start with the neckband.  Both the neck opening and body are shaped with German short rows for a better fit.  The neckband, cuffs and hem are ribbed while the presents are charted only and worked using the Fair Isle technique and finished with i-cord ties as a separate step.
