The sweater - sweater is a must have pullover for knitters to make and to wear. The mini sweaters are knit in using simple intarsia. The embellishments on the mini sweaters are worked with duplicate stitch. The back of the sweater is plain.  Modified dropped shoulder (square armhole) and round neck.
 
We sell the yarn for the mini sweaters in a kit or you can buy the background color only and use your stash. Your stash yarn must be the same weight and must have the same laundering instructions.
