Twelve Knits of Christmas

Knitting one partridge to twelve drummers in a pear tree

Fiona Goble

"The Twelve Days of Christmas" is one of the most popular festive songs. Now in addition to singing the song, you can knit the characters. The Twelve Knits of Christmas brings together the knitting patterns from one partridge to 12 drummers. The projects can double up as Christmas decorations around your home, centring on the colourful and easy-to-assemble cardboard pear tree in the back of the book.

Fiona Goble has published three books on making soft toys and has a forthcoming book on contemporary needlepoint. Her first book for Ivy was Knitivity (2010).

Here Fiona has tackled the popular Christmas carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas, with her typically charming knitted creations - people are where she really shines - and hilarious photographs depicting each verse. - Knitting Magazine
