About the pattern
The Stitch Me Up Sweater is a kids’ raglan sweater. This robot version has 3 robots and 4 lightning bolts spread harmoniously across the sweater. It is knitted top down with 2x2 ribbing and a folded neckline. The neckline is shaped with German short rows and has an elastic bind off for those little but big heads. The motifs are embroidered on with duplicate stitch and basic embroidery stitches. The pattern contains thorough descriptions, pictures, diagrams and instructional videos on how to do the embroidery, 2x2 Italian bind-off and the folded rib with an elastic bind-off. The pattern comes with several yarn options some of which contain mohair. Note that mohair is sometimes not recommended for kids under 1y, so consider a non-mohair option for the smallest size or be mindful of the extent you use the sweater. If you want a spacey gradient background for the robots, the pattern can be combined with the compatible Upgrade Sweater.

For the sweater shown in this pattern I used Tynn Silk Mohair in the colour Shocking Pink/4626 and Halo Brushed Alpaca in the colour Charismatic/2049. 
 
You can find info for the following yarn alternatives in the pattern info for the dinosaur and unicorn version on my website (gauge is the same for all the yarn alternatives): 
1 strand of Filcolana, Pernilla (175 m / 50 g) - dinosaur version. 
And 

1 strand of Sandnes, Sunday (235 m / 50 g) together with 1 strand of Sandnes, Tynn Silk Mohair (212 m / 25 g) – unicorn version 
And 
1 strand of KFO, Merino (250 m / 50 g) together with 1 strand of KFO, Soft Silk Mohair (225 m / 25 g) – unicorn version. 

Note that the yarn amounts above are generally rounded up to be on the safer side, but if your measurements differ from the given measurements in the pattern, consider if you need to get more than listed above.

Yarn usage for the embroidery will depend on the type of yarn you choose. For the grey in the robots I used about 5 g of merino (235 m / 50 g m). For thicker yarn types expect no more than 10 g of the colour most used.

Recommended yarn for the embroidery is the same type and thickness or slightly thicker than the yarn used for the knitted base to get proper coverage. If you used 2 lace strands (mohair or brushed alpaca) for the knitted base, I recommend 1 strand of merino (225-235 m / 50 g) with 1 strand of mohair (210-215 m / 25 g) for the embroidery. In this case think about using light and airy yarn and avoid heavier materials like cotton with respect for the soft and light knitted base. In general, much thicker yarn to create full coverage is not recommended, as the layers will become very thick and stiff.
