Gingerbread Fair Isle Crewneck Holiday Sweater

Bands of Nordic zigzag alternate with rows of dancing gingerbread figures and simple pine trees, wrapping right around the body and down the sleeves. Everything is knitted in rather than printed, so the pattern has a soft raised texture and holds up wash after wash. A neat ribbed crew neck, cuffs and hem keep the shape tidy, and the straight body has enough room to layer a shirt underneath. Deep wine and cream is an easier colour pairing than the usual red and green, so it carries on well past the holidays.
