Digital Knitting Pattern

Tampere is one of Finland’s most atmospheric cities, with old brick buildings, markets, and sauna culture along the lakes. Tampere Mini is a small, classic everyday sweater made for play, while keeping little ones warm.

This is a perfect project for leftover yarn. For the smallest sizes, you need as little as 2 g of yarn for some of the pattern colors. The sweater is worked top down and has a circular yoke. The colorwork is fun to knit, and this is a lovely opportunity to play with colors from your yarn stash.
