What you need to know

Knit a perfect Christmas pudding in part five of Susie Johns' knitted food collection

What do you have on top of your Christmas pudding: custard? Cream? Brandy butter? Whichever you choose, don’t forget to finish it off with a sprig of holly, just like we’ve done here. The semi-solid colourway used for the main section of the pudding perfectly recreates the rich, moist cake that rounds off the bountiful Christmas Day spread. This knitted Christmas pudding is made in DK yarn using simple increases and decreases. Download the pattern today.
