Antonia is a member of my new baby collection “The Taddles”. She’s Anton’s twin sister and therefore she has the same preferences. Only the choice of colors is another with her, and she prefers them being on a small cozy tunic, instead of an ordinary sweater.

The tunic is designed in a simple cut - so even patient beginners can knit it. Of course, the motif in this pattern can be knitted. However, those who prefer to embroider the smaller areas of
color with the duplicate stitch, can have a look to my video. Here I explain the technique of duplicate stitch and
stem stitch for the outlines (in a separate video). The words are German, but the technique is understandable for
all languages. Both are available here.
