Ten festive knitwear pieces from Mini Boden we just can’t get enough of

Say hello to seasonal layering that mixes fun and elegance for your little ones. From festive motifs to timeless Fair Isle, here’s a curated edit of festive children’s jumpers and cardigans from Boden that will carry them through the Christmas season and beyond. Whether you’re after a kids’ Christmas jumper for Christmas Jumper Day, a baby Christmas cardigan for those first festive photos or matching knitwear for siblings, Mini Boden’s festive knitwear collection has a Fair Isle favourite for every age, from three months right up to 14 years.

1. Baby Fair Isle Cardigan – Vintage Pink Festive Fair Isle

Kicking off our festive knitwear edit is this sweet baby Christmas cardigan, knitted in a cosy cotton and wool blend with a pretty Fair Isle pattern, scalloped edges and contrast buttons. In soft vintage pink, it’s a gentle alternative to the traditional red Christmas jumper and works just as well over a party dress as it does with leggings on Boxing Day walks. Available in sizes 3-6 months to 2-3 years.

2. Boys Fair Isle Jumper – Blue Marl Polar Post

Mini Boden’s classic Fair Isle jumper is a perennial favourite, and the Polar Post design, with Father Christmas’s reindeer and sleigh racing across a cream yoke, is the one we keep coming back to. In soft blue marl, it’s a kids’ Christmas jumper with real staying power: festive enough for Christmas Jumper Day, yet understated enough to wear well into January. Sizes run from 2-3 years right up to 13-14 years, so siblings can match.

3. Girls Edie Fair Isle Cardigan – Glacier Blue Snowy Christmas

The Edie is Mini Boden’s best-selling Fair Isle cardigan, and this Glacier Blue Snowy Christmas design is one of our favourite pieces of girls’ festive knitwear this season. A row of cheerful snowmen sits on soft wintry blue, so it feels seasonal without being too Christmassy, meaning she’ll wear it from the first frost right through to February. Available in sizes 2-3 years to 11-12 years.
