Knitting For Olive | Christmas Morning Sweater (Adult) Pattern & Yarn Pack
Bring joy to your holiday wardrobe with the Christmas Morning Sweater Pattern & Yarn Pack. Part of Knitting for Olive’s 2025 Christmas collection, this playful design features tiny wrapped presents dancing around the yoke—each finished with charming i-cord bows. It’s a cosy, light, and delightfully festive sweater that feels just as good to wear as it looks.
Worked with 1 strand of Merino + 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together, the fabric is soft, warm and beautifully airy. The top-down construction makes it comfortable to knit and easy to try on as you go.
Make it traditional with deep, classic Christmas shades, or lean into whimsy with bright, unexpected colours for a fun twist on festive dressing. Either way, it’s a joyful knit made to be worn all season long.
Our Christmas Morning Sweater (Adult) Pattern & Yarn Pack includes your choice of 4 x Merino (MC) and 4 x Soft Silk Mohair (MC), CC1 and CC2 yarns in pre-selected colourways, and a digital pattern. This bundle is suitable for XS-size frames. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern size.
