Duckling Sweater Kit - iroiro

The Duckling Sweater Kit comes in 2 kit sizes 0 months - 2 years and 4 years. Please keep in mind your gauge will affect how much yarn is used so gauge is critical in both how the garment will fit and also how much yarn you will use. Kit will be for colours used in the pattern. 

 

Designed by Claudia Q for EweKnit

 

The only thing cuter than a row of waddling and quacking ducklings is the sweet little human who will wear this sweater! A yoke sweater worked in the round from the bottom up and in one piece. Baby sizes have an opening in the back, so the top of the yoke is worked back and forth to create a keyhole neckline. Change to double pointed needles or needles in preferred style for working small circumferences (magic loop, short circulars, etc.) when necessary as the yoke decreases. Smaller details of the duck such as eyes and beak are worked in duplicate stitch and embroidery.
