Dynomini began with Dynomite, a dino sweater for grown-ups. Make one for you and your little one for maximum dino fun!

Front and Back pieces are knit flat from the bottom up. After seaming the shoulders, set-in Sleeves are worked flat from the top down, and begin by picking up stitches around the armhole.
The Sleeve caps are shaped using short-rows. Decorative ridges adorn one side of ribbed edges.

The dinosaur motif is charted separately for each size, and is very clearly laid out. Change colors using the intarsia method, though you’ll probably want to use the stranded method in areas where there are only a couple sts between color changes.
