This is the 17th in a series of 24 linked patterns, published daily in December 2014, to decorate a knitted Gingerbread House. The pattern for the house itself is published separately.

The roof of the Gingerbread House is covered with rows of knitted sweets. This pattern is for the first of those sweets, a set of Dolly Mixtures. You will need to knit twelve of these sweets all together, using a range of bright pastel colours; all of them have a cream centre.

All my ravelry patterns are free to download but, if you enjoy them, please consider making a donation to the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, a charity which funds research and supports the families of children with a liver disease. You can do this easily by going to my fundraising page www.justgiving.com/frankiesknittedstuff

Happy Knitting!
