Product Details

InspirationKoalas and their stuffed animals are one of those animals you see always hugging. I want to show that tenderness in this baby sweater. Babies are without doubt, a mirror of that tenderness.

Difficulty LevelEasy - Intermediate

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.

GaugeIn 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 notesThe sweater is worked flat in one piece, starting up the front and down the back. Start up the front. Work flat while completing the Koala until reaching the sleeves. Cast on sts for the sleeves. For the neckline, Bind off the center stitches and leave right sleeve stitches on waste yarn or stitch holder. Continue with left sleeve. Make additional rows for the sweater opening.
