Think of winter in Canada and you think of snow and outdoor fun. This year, you and your family can enjoy great winter activities on even the most blustery days in these warm, snuggly handknits.

Fun knitting ideas for winter clothing
The sporty sweater has a classic snowflake pattern adapted from a traditional Scandinavian design. The co-ordinating accessories – hat, mitts, skating skirt and legwarmers – are sure to please. Knit a few items for fun outdoor activities like ice skating and save the rest to make on long winter evenings.

The sweater comes in five sizes: Child's, Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large. Briggs & Little pure wool Heritage yarn can be ordered in navy, red or teal with white accent. All patterns are designed exclusively for Canadian Living readers and are recommended for experienced knitters.
