Dino Stitch Sweater
Dino Stitch Sweater– Child Version
This is a crochet sweater in sizes 0-10 years, that is worked seamlessly top-down, so you can try it on as you go! It uses dk yarn, and features a special stitch, the dino stitch, which is my own invention. The stitch is much quicker than embroidering all the dinosaurs onto a plain garment. Extensive picture and video guides are provided.
Suggested hook size: 4mm
Yarn weight: dk/8-ply/light worsted/ yarn weight 3.
Suggested yarn: Sirdar stories, or any other acrylic/cotton blend. For children’s garments I suggest going for a yarn that is easy care (can be machine washed at 30 or 40 degrees C).
Also needed:
Tapestry needle, embroidery scissors for sewing in ends.
Sizes available:
0-3m/3-6m/6-12m/1-2y(2-4y/4-6y/6-8y)8-10y
To fit chest size up to:
40/43/47/52(57/63/66)70 cm
make the size that best fits chest size rather than age! If between sizes always size up. Follow instructions for your chosen size (denoted by colour).
Gauge: 16 stitches and 13 rows of hdc worked in rows = 10 x 10 cm.
Yardage (will vary slightly according to yarn used):
Main colour = 270/300/370/430(550/730/910)980 m
300/330/410/470(610/800/990)1080 yards.
Contrast colour = 38/40/42/45(50/55/60)70 m
42/44/46/51(55/60/66)77 yards.
