This charming children’s sweater is inspired by a lively pear created in ceramics – a collaborative piece by @ida.noack and @morten.loefberg. The cheerful pear, with its friendly face, adds a playful and colourful touch to the sweater, making it the perfect choice for little adventurers.

The blouse is knitted bottom-up in four pieces.
First, the front is knitted following the chart using the
intarsia colour work technique.
Next, the back, sleeves, and a small leaf are knitted.
The leaf, cheeks, and eyes are embroidered onto the
front before assembling the blouse.
Then, the raglan and side seams are joined using
mattress stitch.
Finally, stitches are picked up along the neck opening,
and the neckline is knitted in rib.
