About the design:

ALL LOVE MINI is worked in the round from bottom and up with 2 colors of yarn, each color holding 3 strands of Midnatssol, a thin yarn made of Tencel, Merinowool and Babyalpac. The neck is worked with german shortrows in ribbing. Children of same age come in different sizes, please choose size from the child´s measurements more than age. As a sweet detail a heart is embroidered with another color of scrap yarn. The pattern includes step by step pictures how to do so.
You need to know the techniques Italian cast on and bind off. If you do not know them you can easily find very good instruction videos online. ALL LOVE does also come in adult size, “ALL LOVE ANOTHER ROUND”.
