Description
This adorable yet sophisticated sweater will keep your cute little monkey warm in the cold winter. The sweater is knit in the round from the bottom to the top. Stitches are sipped on to a stitch holder to create holes for each arm, similar to thumbs on a mitten. The arms are knit from these slipped stitches after the main body is complete, which means there is no seaming necessary. A bonus project, a toque to keep your little monkey’s head warm, is included in the pattern.
