Merry Christmas! Happy Kwanzaa! Seasons Greetings! Happy Hanukkah! (did I leave anyone out?)
My Christmas sweater is FINISHED, and I can now wear it to all the holiday parties I will be attending this year. Woo Hoo!
Using Bernat “Happy Holidays” yarn, I made the Yoke Sweater, which was designed for Bernat Softee Chunky yarn.
My sweater is so sparkly and fun to wear. I just love it!
After completing the yoke, I got to work on the collar, knitting it in the round with a 16″ circular needle. I didn’t make it as long as the directions called for, because I have a short neck. The collar went very quickly, and it was fast work to fold it inside and attach it securely.
Now, I have the Christmas sweater I’ve always dreamed of. Thank you Bernat Yarn!

Very pretty, You did a good job! Gives me some inspiration to try new things.
I’m glad you like it, Bette!
I truly like your Christmas sweater. I myself have made several christmas sweaters thru the years but have never come across such a beautiful pattern for a child. can you tell me the pattern name so I can look it up? Also since Easter is around the corner, any hints on a great easter sweater for a child?
Hello Marecoll! When I made this sweater, I used a Bernat pattern for the discontinued version of Bernat Softee Chunky. You might be able to request a copy of the “Yoke Sweater” pattern from Bernat by sending a message to inquire@bernat.com.
You will find several free Bernat patterns for yoke sweaters by searching for “yoke” on the Free Patterns page. http://www.bernat.com/search.php?key=yoke&searchResults=&PATTERNS=Search
