What you need to know

No big deal, but you're about to craft the solar system! It's much simpler than it sounds - just three circular shapes, along with a glittering shooting star. Stick around for the next instalments to make colourful quirky aliens, a space-suited polar bear and the main man himself! Whether you knit the whole set or pick out a few favourites, they’ll add a unique, handmade touch to your festive style and make wonderful keepsakes for years to come. Have you already made our Christmas tree and Santa’s space shuttle from parts one and two?

How to: work stocking stitch

06:52

Stocking stitch alternates a row of knit stitches with a row of purl stitches. This creates a knitted fabric that is smooth on the right side (with purl stitches forming the bumpy wrong side).
