Who can resist a little person in a cute knit? Not me! I am a tiny bit addicted to reindeers this year, you may have seen one or two pop up in some of my designs. I was looking for a way to add a touch of festive to a simple sweater and it hit me….. REINDEER.
This cute sweater is a classic drop shoulder construction, worked from the bottom up. The pockets are worked separately, you can either work them using the intarsia method. Or if you fancy giving swiss darning (or duplicate stitch as it sometimes known) a try, then this is the perfect project for you.
The pattern is written to fit chest sizes 53 – 73.5cm, which is approx. 12 months to 11 years.
To knit this you will need:
- King Cole Merino Blend DK (100% wool, 50g/112m) in Copper
- 3.25mm needles
- 4mm needles
- Darning needle
- Locking stitch markers
You can find the pattern inside issue 141 of Simply Knitting magazine.
As always I would love to see your finished projects.
Happy Knitting,
Jane Burns
