Little Rainbow Sweater
Cute and colourful, this is the perfect rainbow sweater every kid needs in their life!
You can go wild with colour or choose more subtle stripes, a pastel version maybe? The possibilities are endless!
This sweater is knitted flat, the back first, then the front with some neckline shaping, then the sleeves. It is partially stitched together, then the neckline is added before sewing the sweater together.
