Sheep baby sweater

Inspiration: This sweater is dedicated to our loving sheeps, the ones who provide us with lovely wool for our sweaters. I also wanted to play with textures, so that babies can touch and experiment with the sweater.

What do you need to know? To knit and purl, increases and decreases. Colorwork/ intarsia for color change. Duplicate stitch. There are support videos included if it is your first time. Pattern has been tech edited.

Gauge: In a 10 x 10 cm (4 in x 4 in) square you should have 20 sts and 26 rows. Work the swatch in Stockinette st and block it.

Construction notes: The sweater is worked flat in one piece, starting up the front and down the back.

1. Start up the front. Work flat while completing the sheep until reaching the sleeves.

2. Cast on sts for the sleeves.

3. For the neckline, Bind off the center stitches and leave right sleeve stitches on waste yarn or stitch holder. Continue with left sleeve.

4. Cast on the sts of neckline and opening and continue working back with sleeves.
