A Baby Dinosaur Christmas Jumper is too cute only to wear for Christmas.

Whilst a Dinosaur with a Santa Hat might be irresistible during the festive season, you might want to extend its appeal by removing the Santa Hat afterwards. After all a Dinosaur is not just for Christmas.

The Hat is removable!

I thought that Santa Saurus was looking a lost without the Santa hat, so using the magic that is duplicate stitch, ROAR

The pattern includes instructions and charts for both the Dinosaur and the ROARSOME motif, why not have some fun and mix and match a collection of Dinosaur themed jumpers for your little one.

This adorable baby sweater is sized from birth to 5 years. A simple stocking stitch construction with garter trims is a breeze to knit and would make a great first sweater project. There is one Chart which is worked using the intarsia method on the front of the sweater. And Arm, Hat and Spikes are knitted and sewn on. Add a couple of buttons and some embroidered on teeth you have yourself a dashing Dino for the festivities.

The sample shown is knit in King Cole, Big Value DK, but would work well in any DK weight yarn. Perfect stash buster!
