Christmas Sweaters: Handmade Models

If since childhood American movies have shown us entire families wearing Christmas sweaters for the traditional photo in front of the decorated tree, we can joyfully announce that for some years now, this idea of capturing magical moments with family, as a couple, among friends, and even at the workplace wearing themed clothing has also spread in Italy.

The anticipation of Christmas is an explosion of magic that makes life come alive, everything lights up, the little lights warm the atmosphere at home, the decorations make places where life flows a bit slower, like bars and cafes, cozy.

Many of us spent the day of the Immaculate Conception decorating the house, singing Christmas songs while wearing a nice colorful and comfortable sweater.

We thought of showing you 10 ideas for handmade sweaters.

10 Sweaters for Christmas

Granny Noel

A proposal that, to tell the truth, is not a sweater but a very cute vest, crocheted by Cao di Crochet Maniak.

To be worn with a shirt underneath and jeans, or with a skirt and a pair of tights.

For its creation, Cao chose to make the vest with the Edith yarn, from Bravissimo and

Rudolph

A sweater we loved from the first time we saw it on Cao di Crochet Maniak's channel.

Ideal for evenings with friends, so jeans and soft Ugg boots will give you all the warmth you need for the winter months.

It was made with the BABY KEY.

Nataly Sweater

It's the perfect garment to wear for the traditional photo in front of the Christmas tree, a project proposed by the Fata Tuttofare, halfway between a Christmas sweater and a Nordic style one.

The same sweater in more classic tones, such as grey, beige, or black, will lead us towards a Nordic style, easier to utilize during the cold season. In short, the Nataly sweater can be Christmassy, but not only that! Constructed with the top-down technique for a round working that also simplifies the development of the mosaic stitch placed at the center.

From this project, you can also create a dress or a maxi sweater.
