Sleeves of the sweater.

Sew all the pieces together. Place the front and back of sweater, right sides facing each other and then sew the sides together. Turn the little sleeves inside out and attach them to the sides of the front and back.

Sew the top of the sweater close, leaving a little gap for the neck open. With crochet hook, crochet two rows of single crochet around the neck of the sweater.

Have fun with this easy pattern. You can use different colors in the sweater, add little stripes, use the jazzy pattern, or you can even use some of those self-stripe yarns and get a unique sweater.

If you are going to put this on a toy or a little bear, place the sweater on the toy and close it up to ensure size.

Whatever you choose to do, good luck with this simple and fun loom knitting pattern!
