This happy mini sweater has a cute Jack O’Lantern face that will make you smile. The eyes, nose, and mouth are applied by overstitching onto the sweater after the sweater is complete. The sweater is knit from the top to the bottom with increases along the way. The front and back of the sweater are identical which means you can overstitch the face on the front, on the back, or on both.

You will need three colors of fingering weight yarn for this project (437 yards/100 grams).
3-5 g color A (CA)
