The pullover is knitted top-down in the round using 8ply (DK) yarn, so it knits up quickly! It uses knit and purl stitches and yarns over, and also uses stranded colourwork techniques throughout the yoke and body. There are no seams, but the sleeves and collar require the use of either magic loop (on circular needles) or double-pointed needles.

This pattern is for size 12-18 months, and measures approximately 30cm (13 inches) long from shoulder to waist, 45cm (18 inches) around the chest, and 18cm (7.5 inches) from armpit to cuff. You will need about 100g each of blac and yellow yarn. It was tested using 8ply acrylic yarn, so the measurements and weights may vary if you use acrylic or wool.

The pattern calls for 3.5mm (size 4) and 4.5mm (size 7) needle sizes, as well as a large-eyed darning needle to sew in the ends.
