Errata: At the bottom of the first column on page 2, it says:

“Decrease row (RS): (k1, k2tog) 33 (36, 37, 40,
43) times. K remaining 1 (1, 2, 2, 0) sts: 67
(73, 76, 82, 86) sts. Work 4 (4, 4, 6, 6) rows.”

That last sentence should read: “Work 3 (3, 3, 5, 5) rows.”

This little sheep sweater really began with the yarn. I could think of nothing more special to do with Sincere Sheep’s naturally dyed superwash than to make a sweater to welcome a new little person into the world with. And if you’re going to make a little sweater, you might as well make a hat to match.

The sweater’s finished measurements are for a 17 (18, 19, 20.5, 22)” / 43 (45.5, 48, 52, 56) cm chest.

The hat’s finished circumference is 14.5 (16.25, 18.25)” / 36 (41, 47) cm.

To knit both the sweater and the hat, you’ll need 2 skeins of your main color. In this case, I chose Sincere Sheep’s color Virid.
