US$9.00

My first gender neutral pattern.

This knit was created for my babies.

A sweater that can passed from my daughter to my son effortlessly.

This sweater is worked from the bottom up seamlessly. First, you knit the body and the two sleeves separately.

Then, join the work in the round to complete the yoke.

The colourwork is worked with intarsia back and forth across the body and the sleeves.

Intarsia is a knitting colourwork technique that involves knitting with blocks of colour.

Each colour of yarn is its own unit, with the strands being twisted together when you change colours to connect the pieces.

Recommended ease: 2 - 3“ (5 - 8 cm) of positive ease.

Model shown is wearing a size 3 with chest measuring 20”, age: 3 1/2 yrs.
