Wendy asked for her two favourite things for her sweater - sweets and her cat. You can knit any other name using the alphabet chart on p.107. The sweater is knitted in stocking stitch using double knitting yarn from a single rib. It has dropped shoulders and a round neck. Single rows of colour cheer up a plain rib at the neck.
