Mikkel Sweater Mini is a striped, oversized sweater for little ones, featuring a small collar that gives a classic yet playful look. The sweater is worked top-down in stockinette stitch, allowing you to easily adjust the length as you go. The back is worked flat first. Stitches are then picked up for the shoulders, which are worked to form the front. When the front and back are joined, the body is worked in the round to the desired length. Stitches for the sleeves and neck are picked up directly from the body. The sleeves are worked in the round and finished with ribbing. Finally, the neckband and collar are worked, giving the sweater a subtle polo-style finish. The sweater features wide stripes and ribbed edges for a comfortable fit and a timeless look.
