About the Knitting Pattern

The Three Merry Penguins Jumper is a festive children’s knit designed for ages 3 to 9 years. Three cheerful Christmas penguins march around the neckline, each wearing a Santa hat for a joyful seasonal touch. Knitted in double knitting (DK) wool, the jumper is finished with neat ribbing at the neckline, cuffs, and hem, giving a tidy, stretchy fit that holds its shape beautifully.
