This is a unisex & simplified version of the Little Acorns Sweater and matches the Acorn Pixie Socks
The sweater is knit sideways in one piece and is mostly garter stitch with a ring of little lace acorns around the yoke. All shaping at the yoke and cuffs is done with short rows. The hood is picked up and knit on after the sweater is finished, and so is optional or could be made as a detached hood. A knowledge of I-cord and I-cord edgings is a must. The sweater can be made in one or two colours all instructions for this are in the pattern.
