Say “I love you” to somebody special with Alan Dart’s charming Kissogram. All dressed up in his finery, he’s carrying a telegram and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. We love the detail in his jacket, with its brass buttons and epaulettes. Cast on today and he’ll be sending sweet nothings to your Valentine on 14 February.

Use 3mm needles throughout and cast on by using the cable (2 needle) method. This is most important when knitting the smaller pieces. Also being all pieces with a K row, and always work ‘inc 1’ by knitting into the front and back of the stitch, otherwise your stitch count will not be correct. Be aware that shaping will commence on the first row for some pieces.
