Meet Sidney the adorable Christmas Jumper with interchangeable Hats! Let’s face it making a Christmas jumper takes a while and little ones grow so quickly. To extend the wear Sidney has two hats, a nice festive Santa Hat or a Crown, if Sidney is not feeling it is a hat day, he can feel the breeze between his locks.

(You are buying directly from the designer, which means I can offer pattern support should you need it).

The jumper is worked using the intarsia method working from the Chart provided. The Hats are knitted separately, press studs (snaps) are added to the back and to the front of the Jumper so that your little one can easily change the Sloth’s look for the day.

There is a template provided to help you place your press studs.

You can find full yarn requirements and sizing guide in the image section.
