Sweater Construction
Two simple top-down, sweaters with a cute shaggy sheep motif. These are great sweaters for a beginner color-work knitter with frequent stitch counts and links to tutorials. The Milly version is a designed with the sheep in the yoke and the Milo version offers a border of sheep at the bottom of the garment. How cute would these look when a child visits a local sheep and wool show?
