Moby baby- PetiteKnit

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

It works perfectly with the yarn Heavy Merino.

The Moby Sweater Baby is knit from top down with textured and cable knitting. First, the back is knit with short rows to shape the shoulder slope. Then stitches are picked up for the shoulders which are then joined in front to knit the front piece. The front and back are then joined under the armhole to continue knitting the body straight down. The sleeves are knit in the round on double-pointed needles or with Magic Loop technique. Finally, a ribbed neckline is knit, folded double, and knit down.

Make a gauge swatch to determine which needle size you need to use to match the gauge - note that this can vary from yarn to yarn. Be sure to wash the swatch before measuring as textured knitting can "grow" after washing.
