Pattern Water Sprite Sweater

The WATER SPRITE sweater is knitted top down without a seam. After knitting the collar and button tab the body and sleeves are separated. First the body afterwards the sleeves are knitted in rounds. The herringbone stitch is used as a design element. The name WATER SPRITE is inspired by my favourite children’s book.

The herringbone stitch is step by step explained in the pattern. Other required techniques are standard like: k, p, m1l, m1r, k2tog, ssk

The pattern is for 6 and 12 month old babies designed.
