This is a hand knit sweater for a five year old child to celebrate St Nicholas 2024.
When our children were at their Waldorf school, they experienced many new festivals I'd never heard about growing up. One was Saint Nicholas day, when the children would be given golden walnuts in their shoes. Another was a visit from Saint Lucia, when a lucky girl in fifth grade would get to visit each classroom with glowing candles. Advent was also memorable, when the very youngest children were allowed to walk a candlelit evergreen spiral.
This sweater depicts Saint Nicholas and his helper Peter placing toys in childrens' shoes. A fire in the fireplace wraps around the sweater, with holly decorating the mantel. Paintings are also hung on the green walls. On the identical sleeves, a window is decorated with more holly. A trim pattern of holly leaves and berries circles the wrists and hem. The neck, wrists, and hem also have a trim pattern of shades or green alternating with red.
