What you need to know

Welcome back to part two of Laura Telfer-Williams' festive series.

We started our festive fam with a classic bearded fellow and this week, we bring you the most stylish of gonks with a very impressive chapeau, which is topped with a knitted bobble and features a bold red trim. There’s a lot of shaping on these sections so count your stitches carefully. The hair is shaped into two bunches but these could be plaited if you prefer.
