Karusell & Karusellita
This is two patterns in one! The Karusell sweater for older kids (3 to 10 years) and Karusellita (Newborn to 2 years) for the smaller children.
Both sweaters features polka dots and the tent rooftop of a circus or a merry-go-round in classic white and red. The Karusell sweater also has the classic horses from the merry-go-round. Knitter - you’re in for a fun ride!
This sweater has lots of colourwork and an opportunity to learn a new stranding technique. If you like knitting with several colours, the Invisible Stranding is a true eye-opener as an ideal way to work long floats in colourwork.
The fabulous blend of fibres featuring alpaca, merino, silk and bamboo from The Border Mill in Scotland will make this sweater look fab as well as being comfortable to use.
Yarn: Alpaca Tweed Silk, The Border Mill, (40% Alpaca, 30% Merino Wool, 20% Bamboo and 10% Silk). 50 g/145 meter (1.76 oz/159 ys).
