Easy Colour Mix Sweater Junior is made in a stockinette stitch. The sweater is worked from the top down. Sleeves and ribbed edges are added at the end. The simple bicoloured pattern is worked only in the round. This project is the perfect opportunity to learn how to work with two colours at the same time.
