“So jump up on my sleigh and we’re all on our way, for another bloomin’ Christmas…” Yes, it’s an official Raymond Briggs’ Father Christmas jumper!

The Father Christmas jumper is worked flat from the bottom up in pieces that are seamed before picking up stitches for the neckband in the round. The Wallace and Gromit motif is knitted using the intarsia method, and the facial features are added at the end using embroidery.
