I have
always wanted to knit a Christmas Pullover.
One of those red, white and green, with snowflakes and reindeers all over them.
But two things held my horses:
- Complication
- Season appropriateness constrains
Such a big effort
for just two weeks of rightful public exposure does not seem very effort-effective.

| Winter 2016 Nano's Christmas Pull |
That is
when I came across a reinterpretation of the garment that we can’t pass on. Of
course, it is by NANO’s. I
love it and I just spent 2 hours trying to find a free knitting pattern for the
elk head. Since I couldn’t, I came up with my own copy, which I leave here
in case it might be of interest to any of you.

I will let you know how the project turns out.
TIPS
- The elk head shape could benefit from a bit of a narrower forehead, so if the length of your pull allows it, grant it a couple extra black rows between lines 27-28 (narrowing the forehead)
- The diagram posted fits a 4 year old, upper body length of about 40cm. I also prepared a smaller version, if you need it, drop a comment!
