Deer Kids Sweater Pattern

DEER by Yvonne Bjerregaard

Yvonne Bjerregaard chose Isager Eco Baby (shown in col. E7s) for her design, with edges knitted in Isager Highland (colour Chocolate).  You can substitute Alpaca 2 for the Highland, or any other light fingering yarn you might have in your stash!

The Sweater is worked in seed stitch for lovely texture. It is worked from the top down with raglan decrease.
