This Dragonpine Designs pattern was designed by Judy T.

This pattern is written for the LK150 knitting machine (mid-gauge 6.5mm knitting machine). Pattern includes extensive written instructions (12 pages including high-resolution photographs of the sweater and hat). Full row counts and carriage positions for entire pattern are given in an easy to follow table for ease of keeping track of progress. Full written instructions are given for all sizes. There are two options for closures: either a machine-knitted flower (can also be used as a hat adornment) or a decorative button. The sweater is a shawl-collar ribbed design, with a matching hat. The border of the sweater features a layered crocheted hem (done on the machine; instructions included) to prevent the edges from rolling.
