Christmas jumpers are all the rage, but forking out for a sweater you’ll only wear for a fortnight is a bit wasteful – not to mention pretty pricey at an already cash-strapped time of year. Instead, do your bit for the environment and upcycle an old top with this fun festive motif. For bonus planetary points make with yarn from your stash.
To hook up this fantastic pattern, you’ll need:
DROPS Paris (100% cotton, 50g/75m) in Green (43)
a small amount of each: Raspberry (38) Orange (13) Dark Turquoise (10) Shocking Pink (06) Strong Yellow (14)
You’ll find the full pattern, yarn quantities and measurements for this project inside issue 90.
