This pattern is designed for the little bug lovers.

This is a bottom-up, raglan pullover for children.
Stag beetles become the focal point of the sweater with stranded colourwork.
Knit from the bottom of the body, including the stranded colourwork.
Sleeves are also worked upward from the wrist.
The body and sleeves are connected and knitted along the raglan shoulders.
Pick up the stitches along the neckline, then create a shawl collar for a cozy finish.
