Girl’s or boy’s sweater, in pullover or cardigan style, features hare design that was developed from an image on a woven tapestry, combined with leaves and a simple color band. Knitting the hares takes some skill, and pattern instructions do not give exact placement of the motifs. Elsebeth says “placing them as you see fit will just make your garment more unique.”
