PATTERN RELAUNCH
September 2023

the ZORAZORO sweater is the reworked and completely updated version of the structured striped sweater

DESCRIPTION
Stripes are always a good idea, right? This sweater features a beautiful texture and 2 colored stripes with a maincolor/contrastcolor change at the bottom of body and sleeves.
It’s worked topdown in moss stitch, with increases along raglan columns, it’s seamless and features some techniques for a professional finishing look like tubular cast-on and bind-off.
The Sweater pattern is the complete new version of the #StructuredStripedSweater.

EASE
-->Sizing is a guide only and you should pick the finished measurement size closest to the child’s measurements
plus 5-15 cm (2-6inches) of positive ease. The sweater has a relaxed fit. But as children grow quickly, you can’t go wrong with knitting a larger size!

NEEDLES
Circular needles in size 4 mm (US 6) and 5 mm (US 8) or size to obtain gauge, with a length of 60-80 cm (24-32 inches).
Optional double-pointed needles in the same size to work the sleeves (if not using magic loop method for that)
