The pullover is knitted top-down in the round using 8ply (DK) yarn, so it knits up quickly! It uses knit and purl stitches and yarns over, and has a stranded colourwork yoke. There are no seams, but the sleeves and collar require the use of either magic loop (on circular needles) or double-pointed needles.

This pattern is for size 4-5 years, and measures approximately 40cm (15 inches) long from shoulder to waist, 64cm (26 inches) around the chest, and 26cm (10 inches) from armpit to cuff. You will need 300g of the background yarn and 50g of the contrast yarn. It was tested using 8ply acrylic yarn, so the measurements and weights may vary if you use cotton or wool.

The pattern calls for 3.5mm (size 4) and 4.5mm (size 7) needle sizes, as well as a large-eyed darning needle to sew in the ends.
