The cloud sweater is knit back and forth in stockinette in 4 pieces, front, back and two sleeves from the bottom up.
The front of the neck is lower than the back and the right shoulder is held together with 2 buttons to make it easier to pull over a baby or child’s head. The neck, sleeves and bottom are complete with a ribbed edge.

The chest has 2 inches of positive ease so that it can be worn over clothes comfortably.

Intarsia is used to knit the cloud design.
Mattress stitch is used to seam the pieces.

The model in the picture wears the 3 month sized jumper and has a chest measurement of 40.5cm / 16in.
