Clever Hands Knitting Pattern 66

News of an overseas addition to the family has prompted me to think of those with Aotearoa New Zealand connections. Here is a new toddler pattern featuring our unique Kiwi. A lovely wintry gift for those with little ones living here in Aotearoa New Zealand or far away.

This jumper or jersey pattern has been created for the knitter who has a basic range of knitting skills and enjoys basic intarsia knitting. The pattern comes in three sizes 1, 2, and 4, and features a dropped shoulders style. The front and back pieces are identical. A variegated 8 ply or double knit yarn is used to great effect with two contrast colours for the band of Kiwi across the front and back. A coloured graph of the Kiwi is provided.

Materials:
4 ( 4, 5 ) x 50g Main variegated colour 8 ply
1 x 50g Contrast colour 8 ply
1 x 50g Contrast colour 8 ply
