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!
