I really enjoy knitting baby & children’s garments, but prefer saturated colors & classic themes over pastels & commercial characters. If I had a son/daughter I would imagine dressing him/her in something modern & stylish with a bit of whimsy--hence, ”Positive Chi.” Inspired by my beloved chihuahua, Suki, this rugby-styled pullover is knit up quickly in bulky wt yarn. Knit from the bottom up in the round, it requires almost no seaming. The chi silhouette & paw prints are done in duplicate stitch. A tubular cast on into 1x1 waistband ribbing, sporty placket collar, faux undershirt sleeves, & neck facing make this sweater sophisticated enough for an adult, but styled for the little nugget in your life!
