Panda Sweater

> [**Sign up for our newsletter for exclusive discounts on patterns**][2] Designed by Claudia Q As a child, I loved collecting shells and shiny things from the beach, but not many of my garments had pockets to store my treasures. This memory inspired me to add pockets to this simple design that reminds me of cute panda bears. Make it as a cardigan or a sweater! The pullover is worked from the top down with raglan shaping. A small section of short rows is worked at the back of the neck for a more comfortable fit. Pocket linings are picked up around the pocket openings [Find the kit here][3] SIZES 0–3 mos (3–6 mos, 6–12 mos, 12–18 mos, 2 yr) (4 yr, 6 yr, 8 yr, 10 yr) Recommended ease: 2" / 5 cm of positive ease at chest Shown in size 2 yr on Arvi (height 28" / 71 cm) FINISHED MEASUREMENTS Chest Circumference: 16 (17.75, 20, 21.75, 24) (25.75, 28, 29.75, 32)" / 40 (45, 50, 55, 60) (65, 70, 75, 80) cm Body Length to Underarm (front): 4 (4.5, 5, 5.5, 6) (7.5, 9, 10, 11)" / 10 (11, 13, 14, 15) (19, 23, 26, 28) cm Raglan Depth: 3.5 (3.25, 3.75, 4.5, 5.25) (5.25, 5.75, 5.55, 6.25)" / 9 (8, 10, 11, 13) (13, 15, 14, 16) cm Upper Arm Circumference: 6.25 (6.75, 7.5, 8.25, 9) (9.75, 10.25, 10.75, 11.5)" / 16 (17, 19, 20, 22) (24, 26, 27, 29) cm Sleeve Length to Underarm: 6.5 (6.75, 8.25, 9.75, 10.75) (12, 14, 15.5, 17)" / 17 (17, 21, 24, 27) (31, 36, 39, 43) cm MATERIALS Yarn: Yarn A: 1 (1, 1, 2, 2) (2, 2, 3, 3) skein(s) of Merino by Knitting for Olive (100% merino wool, 273 yds / 249 m – 50 g), colourway Putty Or 164 (184, 237, 293, 344) (445, 545, 654, 760) yds / 150 (169, 217, 268, 315) (407, 499, 599, 695) m of fingering-weight yarn Yarn B: 1 (1, 1, 2, 2) (2, 3, 3, 4) skein(s) of Soft Silk Mohair by Knitting for Olive (70% mohair, 30% silk, 246 yds / 225 m – 25 g), colourway Putty Or 164 (184, 237, 293, 344) (445, 545, 654, 760) yds / 150 (169, 217, 268, 315) (407, 499, 599, 695) m lace-weight yarn Yarn C: 1 (1, 1, 1, 1) (1, 1, 1, 1) skein of Merino by Knitting for Olive (100% merino wool, 273 yds / 249 m – 50 g), colourway Deep Petroleum Blue Or 28 (27, 30, 37, 35) (41, 55, 60, 64) yds / 26 (25, 28, 34, 33) (38, 51, 55, 59) m of fingering-weight yarn Yarn D: 1 (1, 1, 1, 1) (1, 1, 1, 1) skein of Soft Silk Mohair by Knitting for Olive (70% mohair, 30% silk, 246 yds / 225 m – 25 g), colourway Deep Petroleum Blue Or 28 (27, 30, 37, 35) (41, 55, 60, 64) yds / 26 (25, 28, 34, 33) (38, 51, 55, 59) m of lace-weight yarn 1 strand of each yarn A and B are held together throughout the patt for the Main Colour (MC). 1 strand of each yarn C and D are held together throughout the patt for the Contrast Colour (CC) Needles: US 3 / 3.25 mm 16" / 40 cm circular needles, 24" / 60 cm, and a set of DPNs.
