Mine! Pullover

> Traveling around Europe in the summer > of 2024 we encountered many sneaky > seagulls (and other birds) ready to > swoop in on unsuspecting tourists to > steal their seaside snacks. They are > brazen but so funny to watch. Every > time I watch them I think of the > iconic scene from Disney's Finding > Nemo, with the seagulls calling out, > 'Mine! Mine!' I loved designing the > Mine! Cowl and Mine! Socks so much I > had to add these quirky, funny birds > to a sweater as well. This sweater is knit top down, in the round, with yoke worked in stranded colourwork, body with stripes, and a stranded colourwork section before the ribbing. I used duplicate stitch for the seagull beaks and eyes. Included in the pattern are both colour and black and white charts. **Sizes** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) **Finished Chest Circumference** 32 (36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68) inches 80 (90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170) cm This sweater is designed to fit with 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) positive ease. **Yarn** Allison Barnes Yarn [115 g / 250 yds (229 m); 100% Superwash Merino Wool; DK/Sport Weight] in Beach (blue), Chin Hairs (light grey), Granite (dark grey), and Gold (yellow), (optional mini skein of black for eyes).
