We love a bit of festive knitwear, but we love an edible Christmas Jumper biscuit even more. The garish the better. Why not make your jumper cookies look even more realistic by creating a knitted effect. These quick decorating hacks will show you how.

Method
Step 1
Begin by cutting a jumper shape out of sugapaste icing, either using a cutter or freehand using a template. Secure this on to your biscuit by brushing the back of the sugar paste with apricot jam.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife score vertical lines across the jumper shape.
Step 3
Using the tip of your knife score small diagonal lines either side of the vertical lines (in opposite directions) this will give the knitted "stitch" pattern.
Step 4
Repeat this process until the whole of the jumper is covered in this pattern. You can then decorate with your Christmas design.
Step 5
Alternatively, break off small pieces of fondant and roll into thin sausages, pinching them together at the top.
Step 6
Twist the two pieces of sugar paste together until it forms a swirl effect.
Step 7
Stick each strand of sugar paste to your biscuit, side by side to create a 3D knitted effect.
Step 8
Repeat the process and add sleeves to your jumper design.
