Remember that the amount of yarn you need depends on the size and motif you are working on.
Start by choosing the size. Measure a sweater which fits the person who will be wearing the Christmas sweater and then compare these measurements to the measurement charts below to get the best fit.
Once you have chosen your size, scroll down to find the materials and motifs.

Already chose the size you’ll be knitting? Then continue to find information about needles, yarn and motifs.
Note: The technique MAGIC LOOP can be used – you then only need circular needles of 80 cm = 32” in each size. Remember the needle size is only a guide.
The knitting tension in this pattern is 17 stitches in width and 22 rows in height with stocking stitch = 10 x 10 cm = 4” x 4”. If you get too many stitches on 10 cm = 4”, change to a larger needle size. If you get too few stitches on 10 cm = 4”, change to a smaller needle size.
We'll be knitting the sweater in DROPS Air but remember however that you can choose another quality from Yarn Group C or combine 2 strands from Yarn Group A.
Use our yarn calculator to work out the amount of yarn you will need if you change your yarn quality.
