Little Storyteller Hoodie by Carina Spencer

Craft: Knitting

Pattern Notes

Storyteller is knit from the bottom up in one piece. The hood is picked up and knit after shoulders are grafted together. The cap sleeves and garter rib border are picked up and knit in the round. There is no sewing other than the shoulder and hood grafts!

Highlight the numbers for your size before beginning to avoid errors. As you are knitting, keep in mind that references to the left and right sides of the sweater are always “as worn”.

The plain version of the sweater is worked in color A only. The two-color version is worked in color A with the cap sleeves and garter rib border worked in color B
