‘Twas the month before Christmas, and all through the land, knitting needles were clicking, and hooks were in hand. Grandma was knitting the stockings with care, and Mum’s Christmas jumper was ready to wear.
Does that sound like your Christmas?
We know that everyone loves festive makes so we’ve pulled out all the stops to bring you the ultimate knit and crochet Christmas book, with something for every kind of Christmas. You can knit an advent calendar for the big Christmas count down and crochet character baubles ready for carols around the tree. Make a snowman wreath to welcome festive visitors then tell the Christmas story with an amigurumi nativity scene. Keep Santa’s little helpers cosy in cute Christmas onesies and fun jumpers, and keep them entertained too with mischief made by their very own Elf On The Shelf. All of this and so much more inside for a very merry knit and crochet Christmas.

About This Yarn
Sirdar Country Classic worsted is soft, merino wool blend in a large and versatile palette of flattering shades. Worsted is the favourite yarn weight of our American customers. A little heavier than double knitting it is ideal for year round knits with a little extra warmth.
What's it like to work with?
The pure merino blend is beautifully soft and comfortable to work and your stitches will glide over your needles. Experienced knitters will especially enjoy the excellent stitch definition and opportunity to showcase your skills in this weight.
What is it best for?
Worsted is a real all-rounder. Excellent stitch definition keeps intricate colour work and textured stitches clear and crisp. And because the soft, cosy merino is blended with acrylic, heavily textured larger knits remain wonderfully light and easy to wear.
