Otto Sweater Baby Pattern

The Otto Sweater Baby is worked from the top down in a stripe pattern. First, the back yoke is worked. Next, each shoulder is worked separately and back and forth on circular needles. These are then joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are then joined to form the body which is worked in the round on circular needles. The sleeves are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armhole openings. The folded neck edge is worked at the end from stitches that are picked up and knitted around the neck opening.
