• Scissors

Instructions

Back Panel

Cast on 50 stitches onto your knitting needles using the long-tail cast on method. Knit in garter stitch for 8 rows.

Next, switch to stockinette stitch and continue knitting until the panel measures approximately 8 inches from the cast-on edge. Make sure to end with a knit row.

Right Front Panel

Repeat the same steps as the left front panel.

Sleeves

Cast on 20 stitches onto your knitting needles using the long-tail cast on method. Knit in garter stitch for 8 rows.

Next, switch to stockinette stitch and increase 1 stitch at each end of every 4th row until you have 34 stitches on your needles. Continue knitting until the sleeves measure approximately 6 inches from the cast-on edge. Make sure to end with a knit row.

Assembly

Once all the pieces are knitted, it's time to assemble the sweater. Begin by seaming the shoulders together using the mattress stitch. Next, attach the sleeves to the armholes using the same technique.

To add the tulips pattern, use duplicate stitch. Thread a tapestry needle with a contrasting color yarn.

Weave in all ends and trim any excess yarn. Your little tulips model baby sweater is now complete!
