Create a traditional knitted Christmas pudding decoration with this free pattern, worked flat on straight knitting needles. The rounded pudding is shaped with simple increases and decreases before being stuffed and finished with separately knitted icing, two holly leaves and three festive berries.
Measuring approximately 7cm wide by 7cm high, the finished pudding makes a charming addition to Christmas displays, seasonal table settings or handmade gift collections. Small black-thread stitches add the traditional currant detail, while a cardboard base helps the decoration sit neatly when displayed.
Designed for Advanced Beginner knitters, this compact festive project offers an enjoyable introduction to shaped three-dimensional knitting without needing double-pointed or circular needles.
