An all-over colorwork sweater, incorporating dreidels, gelt, menorahs, and more - everything you need to celebrate Hanukkah in warmth and style!

10% of all pattern sales will be donated to World Jewish Relief. They say, “Inspired by our Jewish values, we provide life-saving and life-changing action to support and empower people in crisis around the world.”

The pattern is fully charted for ease of knitting. Motifs include several different dreidel designs, gelt, flames, Magen Davids, menorahs, latkes, and sufganiyot. The number of motifs included will depend on your chosen size.

Please note that photos include 3 different sweaters. The 6-8 year sweater is knitted following the pattern precisely, while the 2-4 year sweater (with a dark background in the flame motif) shows an alternative combination of motifs. Some photos feature them alongside an adult sweater (coming soon in a separate version).
