A Real Knitted Ugly Christmas Sweater, With Your Face Knitted In

This is the ugly sweater everyone remembers: a real knit, with your face, your dog or your whole family knitted right into the yarn like the classic knitted reindeer. Nothing is printed on top. Send us a photo and we design it for you, then you approve a free mockup before you pay anything.

Knitwear is knitted to order and takes longer: plan on about 2 to 4 weeks after you approve your mockup. Cutting it close? It's never too late to own one. Order anyway and wear it all season and every Christmas after. Need it sooner? The printed photo sweatshirt below arrives in 5-9 business days once production starts.
