Crackerjack is a traditional style sweater that’s sure to win smiles and the colourwork makes the most of MillaMia’s great stitch definition.

The sweater is worked flat as separate pieces from the bottom up. Once the body and sleeves are completed, the neck is worked and the seams sewn.

Finished chest sizes are 22 (24, 26, 28)“ or 56 (61, 66, 71) cm
Approx. age: up to 1 year, 1-2 years, 3-4 years, 5-6 years

Yarn requirements:
22”: 250m of each colour
24”: 375m of main colour (fawn) and 250m of contrast colour (navy)
26”: 375m of each colour
28”: 500m of each colour

I used MillaMia Naturally Soft merino but you can substitute a differ yarn that works to a gauge of 25 sts and 34 rows to 10 cm. The colourwork will look best if you use a yarn that isn’t too fluffy.
