Petite Knit Otto Sweater Baby (in English)

Otto Sweater Baby
Knitting Pattern: Otto Sweater Baby (0 months–4 years)
Top-down striped baby sweater – cozy, easy-to-knit design

The Otto Sweater Baby by PetiteKnit is a charming striped sweater worked from the top down. The back yoke is knitted first, then each shoulder is worked separately back and forth on a circular needle. The shoulders are joined to form the front yoke, and the front and back yoke are then joined to work the body in the round. Sleeves are picked up and worked from the armhole stitches, and the neckline is finished with a neat folded edge. This versatile construction ensures a comfortable fit and smooth finish.
