Looking for cute yet scary sweater for your little one, perhaps a dressing up outfit to head out Trick or Treating? This Monster Mash, Frankenstein inspired jumper is just the thing.

This easy children’s jumper is a great first colourwork jumper. Why? because there is only a tiny amount of intarsia, The small section of hair is worked from the Chart provided and the Eyes are worked using duplicate stitch from the Chart provided to bring your Frankenstein to life……

This super cute drop shoulder sweater is not only for Halloween, I am sure your little monster will want to wear this sweater well beyond the scary season.

Those of you who are not new to my work, will know that I like my designs to be playful, yet simple to achieve. There are charts for the hair and eyes, which are worked using the intarsia method. But fear not, you could easily work these using duplicate stitch (or swiss darning), which would produce a great 3D effect for the features. The mouth and tongue are worked separately and sewn on the front at the end.

The pattern is written for chest sizes 53 - 76 cm (that is approx. 12 months to 11 years).
