What you need to know

We've finished with the waterfowl and are now onto our classic characters. Up first is the milkmaid in verse eight of the 12 Days of Christmas song. The main doll is knitted using intarsia colourwork with the apron, buckets and plaits added later to give a three-dimensional element. Download this Christmas knitting pattern today!
