Pandas: cute, cuddly and, in cartoon form, cheeky! Your little ones will love this fun jumper, especially if they wear glasses too.

The Panda in Glasses jumper is knitted in pieces from the bottom up; the neckline is picked up and knitted on after seaming the shoulders of the jumper. The Panda in Glasses motif is worked using intarsia.
