What you need to know

Use your intarsia skills for Siân Brown's picture knit dinosaur sweater that fits children aged 1-10 years

This charming children’s jumper features a playful stegosaurus motif on the front, created using the intarsia technique. It’s ideal for those looking to delve into colourwork for the first time, with bold colours and easy-to-follow chart. The pattern fits kiddos aged 1-10 years so you can knit a new one as they grow.
