The Kaleidoscope Embroidered Sweater is a fun mix of knitting and embroidery. Worked top down, seamlessly and in the round, this yoke style sweater is ideal for beginner knitters looking to make their first sweater. The really fun part this time around will be teaching and running wild (creatively!) with the embroidery. We’ll give you instructions on how to recreate the embroidery you see here, however feel free to make it your own! The yarn in this kit is for the short sleeve version - grab an extra skein or use stash to lengthen sleeves or the body!
