Sweater Knitting Pattern and yarn

Knitting kit with yarn and free digital knitting pattern for a mushroom sweater. The Mushy sweater is a cute and soft sweater in our BonBon brushed alpaca. The sweater is knitted from the bottom up. When the armhole is made, the front and back pieces are divided into 2 parts which are then knitted separately to the specified length. Sewn or knitted together over the shoulders. Sleeves are knitted from the top down – stitches are picked up in the armhole of the body.

FIT
Ease (positive ease) is approximately +25-35 cm from the chest/bust measurement for a loose fit. If the child measures, for example, 55 cm around the chest, size 4 or 6 years will fit best (ease of 24 or 31 cm). Choose size according to the bust/chest measurement and adjust sleeve and body length to fit the child. You can also measure the bust/chest of a sweater the child already has and likes, and choose the size that most closely matches its bust/chest measurement.
