Cozy up with a new knitting project for your favorite little guy! This roll-neck raglan design gives you three options for style (and difficulty). The plain raglan in traditional sock monkey colors will look “sock monkey” without screaming it. The duplicate-stitch design (shown on the baby) is easy enough for a beginner who has a few in-the-round projects under her belt. And the pictured toddler is wearing a sweater adorned with an intarsia square that would be a small and manageable introduction to intarsia. Charts for both the duplicate stitch and intarsia designs are included with the written instructions for making the rest of the sweater. Whatever you choose, your little guy will get compliments wherever he goes in this handmade gem!
