Little Peacock sweater is a classic scrap yarn project that is super fun to knit. First, the sweater is knitted, with a pattern in the round, before finally embroidering the center motif with duplicate stitch. If you haven’t done this before, you can take it easy. It’s very simple and a super useful technique to know! Happy knitting <3
