Teddy Sweater

7,50 

The fluffy Teddy sweater is a comfortable garment with a slight oversized fit in a very simple style and design and the perfect knitting project for beginners!

The sweater is worked from the top down in the round with raglan increases. Once the upper body is completed, body and sleeves are split and worked separately in the round. The stretchy rib bindings for the collar, cuffs, and hem are worked in a contrasting yarn, which is held double.

Since the sweater is worked from the top down, the length of both lower body and sleeves can easily be adjusted to every body type and ensuring a well-fitting, comfy sweater.
