The Italian word Omino literally translates to Little Man. Designed with a Donegal yarn - this rugged toddler sweater will have your little guy resembling a Little Man.

The Omino is knit from the top down - with a subtle raglan sleeve hinge - from Queensland Collection Rustic Tweed Yarn. Rustic Tweed is spun with bits of colored fiber and resembles the Donegal Tweeds of Ireland. The yarn contains: 63% Wool, 27% Alpaca, 7% Acrylic, 3% Viscose - the small amount of Acrylic and Viscose making up the Donegal.

Johnny recommends manufacturer’s directions for washing and air dry on a towel flat as to help retain shape.

This pattern uses approximately 350 - 380 yards of Light Worsted or Worsted weight yarn. Any use of a different yarn WILL result in a different garment.
