  • This pattern comes in two versions:
    Version 1: the old version included in the e-book “Sweet Pickles”, knit in the discontinued Pickles Thin Alpaca.
    Version 2: a new 2021 version knit either in Pickles Mjuk Merino or double Pickles Bliss. The gauge and needles are the same for the old and new version, but the new version has a slightly reworked pattern with clearer instructions and both cm and inches in the English pattern. If you have purchased the e-book, we can send you the reworked pattern.

This sweater is influenced by the character Lotta (from Astrid Lindgren). It’s knitted with a stitch that makes it really stretchy, and will fit for quite some time. The girls version is bit longer than the boys.
