25 not so ugly knitted sweaters for christmas

In this post, I’ve collected 25 knitted sweater patterns for Christmas. Some are paid, some are free, and all are beautiful and sweet in their own way (in my opinion). I tried to find various styles and techniques – multi-colored, cabled, lace, and simple sweaters and jumpers.



Multi-colored knitted sweaters and jumpers for Christmas


Reindeer Jumper

Paid pattern

I think this knitted Christmas jumper is super cute. I would add a pom-pom as a nose. The Ravelry page for this jumper is here. Note that if you are outside of the UK (like me), it looks like it’s available only in the UK. 

Check the pattern out here.

Rudolph by DROPS Design

Free pattern

Bottom-up knitted raglan jumper with reindeer pattern on the yoke. Although DROPS patterns are a bit “different” and usually need some focus, I do LOVE their yarn (for this jumper, it is recommended to use DROPS Eskimo / Snow). Also, check out all the fun Ravelry projects for color inspiration. Here’s the Ravelry page for that pattern.

Traditional Christmas Jumper

I love this one. It screams Christmas and looks very festive. Here’s the Ravelry pattern page – sadly, not many Ravelry projects (but we can change that, don’t we?).

Top-down seamless sweater with reindeer and snowflake patterns. Here’s the Ravelry pattern page and check out all those project pages. Awesome!

Red Nose Jumper

This fun Christmas sweater is knitted top-down with raglan and reindeer motif. I love the difference between back and front pieces. And here’s the Ravelry pattern page.

Terra Nova
by Jennifer Beale

Paid pattern

Look at that gorgeous sweater. It’s a top-down, fair isle pullover with lace panels down the sleeves and sides of the body. The fair isle is worked in the round with steeks; the lace is worked flat. Just use Christmas colors and it will be perfect.

I would knit it in dark red or dark green, and it would be perfect. Here’s the Ravelry pattern page and here’s the original pattern page.
