About the pattern
The Stitch Me Up Sweater is a kids’ raglan sweater. It comes in three different duplicate stitch versions: Dinosaur, Unicorn and Robot, sold separately. They each have their own unique vibe with 3 different motifs and 4 identical motifs spread harmoniously across the sweater. Note that the gradient background shown in one of the sweater examples is made by combining a Stitch Me Up Sweater pattern with the compatible Upgrade Sweater pattern. The gradient details are not included in this pattern.

The sweater is knitted top down with 2x2 ribbing and a folded neckline. The neckline is shaped with German short rows and has an elastic bind off for those little but big heads. Each pattern version contains thorough descriptions, pictures, diagrams and instructional videos on how to do the embroidery, 2x2 Italian bind-off and the folded rib with an elastic bind-off. The pattern comes with several yarn options some of which contain mohair. Note that mohair is sometimes not recommended for kids under 1y, so consider a non-mohair option for the smallest size or be mindful of the extent you use the sweater.
