About the pattern
The Upgrade Sweater is a kids’ raglan 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 pattern contains thorough descriptions, pictures, diagrams and instructional videos on how to do the 2x2 Italian bind-off and the folded rib with an elastic bind-off. 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. Note that the dinosaur motifs shown in some of the sweater examples are made by combining this pattern with the compatible Stitch Me Up Sweater pattern. The dinosaur motifs are not included in this pattern.

Tip to choosing colours that blend well: Take a picture of the yarn combination you are considering and turn the colour saturation down, so the picture is in grey tones. If the grey tone contrast is low, the colours will typically blend more smoothly. If you do pick colours with higher grey tone contrast, make sure their base and feel are similar.
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.
