Welcome this super friendly Penguin into your little one’s wardrobe this festive season.
Boys and Girls will adore this cheerful chappy motif on their Christmas Jumper.

The Peeking Penguin Christmas Jumper is a simple drop shoulder sweater with an intarsia Penguin motif. The main sweater is worked flat in four pieces from the bottom up with a subtle moss stitch ribbing. The Snowballs are worked from the Chart using duplicate stitch, giving them a lovely 3D effect. The Eyes, Beak and Pompom are made separately and sewn on to bring this dapper dude to life.

Pattern is sized to fit approx ages 2-11 years, chest 56-73.5 cm (22-29 in). It is knitted using DK weight yarn and is a great stash busting project. You can find full details in the chart below.
