Child’s sweater inspired by a lovely cap found at a market in Peru. Sweater is worked in two color garter stitch. Labyrinth patterns are worked in a combination of stockinette and slip stitch, and the body and sleeve stitches on each side of the labyrinth patterns are worked in stockinette with garter stripes.

Sweater body is worked back and forth in rows in one piece beginning at lower back, working up and over the shoulders, with stitches cast on and bound off at each side for sleeves, and then down the front to the lower edge.
