The pattern is really simple, no armhole shaping and only a few gentle decreases on sleeves. I'm sure even a complete beginner will fly through it with no difficulty.
Pieces are worked separately on straight 5 mm needles and stitched up afterwards. I used acrylic self-striping yarn, DK weight. By pure chance I achieved colour symmetry - stripes on front and back are a perfect match, sleeves identical.
Both front and back are worked in a neat, square grid stitch, with a garter stitch border. Back is a bit wider than the front, hence the trapezoid neckline. Sleeves are simple stockinette with border to match the body.
Surprise, surprise, I've finished the sweater off with crochet flowers. Yes, I know, it gets monotonous. I am through with the crochet flower binge though and you won't be seeing them here for another while.
Neck opening is edged with a simple crochet stitch, with a button added on each side.
As you can see, my puppy is always eager to assist in the photo shoot!
One more toddler knit coming soon: a textured hoodie for a one year old.
PATTERN:
My own (with the exception of crochet flowers).
The Verca pullover will be gifted away in another week or so and if it turns out that I achieved a reasonable fit, I will share the pattern here, for free.
