Walter is a member of my new baby collection “The Taddles”. And no, Walter is NOT sad, he is just angry. Or provocative. Seems as if something doesn’t conform his ideas. So he decides to show his drama face and hopes that it will lead him to his original target.

The sweater is designed in a simple cut, so even patient beginners can knit it. Of course, the motif in this pattern can be knitted. However, those who prefer to embroider the smaller areas of color with the duplicate stitch, can have a look to my video. Here I explain the technique of duplicate stitch and stem stitch for the outlines (in a separate video). The words are German, but the technique is understandable for all languages. Both are available here.
