This was my first ever pattern, originally knitted in a luxurious possum, silk and merino blend. Beautifully soft, but not very practical as a toy for a young child.

Knitted in soft machine-washable merino, it makes a perfect (and practical) gift for a child - which will be treasured for years.

Knit it in soft pastel variegated yarns - for a vintage look - or in bold sock yarns for a more retro look (and also extremely practical.

Pattern includes sweater and dress instructions
