Novelty jumpers are firmly back in fashion and hugely popular on the high street. Now you can make your own - give them to friends and family, or just keep them for yourself. With jumpers for everyone and for every occasion, Novelty Knits is the perfect book for people looking to make something more personal. As well as a festive snowman, Christmas tree, skeleton, ghost, love birds and heart, there are His & Her 'tuxedos' and a robot, as well as patterns for animal lovers, including cats, dogs, pigs and a teddy bear, and enthusiasts, including golfers, musicians, Formula 1 and steam train fans. So whether you want something elegant, outrageous, extrovert or just a little bit different, there is bound to be a pattern designed for you. 

Gyles writes: 'Welcome to the Brandreth family knitting book. This is a collection of our favourite knitting patterns for jumpers, chosen by me and by my daughter, Saethryd, and modeled by us and some of our friends. We hope the book will help raise funds for an important charity – Women for Women International – and we hope it will raise a smile, too. It is a book for people who enjoy knitting in general, and colourful, fun knitwear in particular.'
