Save the date people - this year's Christmas Jumper Day to raise money for the charity Save the Children is Friday 13th December.

Schools, workplaces and anyone else who wants to join in are encouraged to wear a seasonal sweater and donate to Save the Children to support its causes around the world.

Cheesy, classic or contemporary - it doesn't matter the type of jumper you wear as long as you take part and spare what cash you can.

Knitters know it's much better to knit your own jumper that will last for years and years rather than buy unsustainable fashion that will fall apart after a few washes.  Here are five free pattern ideas:

1. Hobbycraft has a free download pattern for a woman's Christmas jumper complete with pom pom for Rudolph's nose!

2. Lovecrafts has a free download of a Painbox Yarns pattern for men featuring lots of Christmas trees.

5. The Yarn Loop has a free snowman pattern by Sue Stratford for adults who don't want to miss out on the fun!

Now all you have to buy is that yarn, that's if you haven't got any hanging around in your stash that is!
