2 PATTERN NOTES Dinosaurs (real and imaginary) appear in many different colors. Luckily, so does Bamboo Pop! This machine washable yarn is perfect for kids garments (and adults, too!) and is a delight to knit with. Have fun creating a Stripe-o-saurus for your favorite little person. This sweater is worked flat from the bottom up and seamed. Neck edging stitches are picked up and worked in the round. A circular needle is used to work the body because there are times in which stitches will need to be slipped to the other end of the needle during the Stripe Sequence. Cut yarn after each color section and weave in these ends. STITCH GUIDE K1, P1 Twisted Rib (odd number of sts, worked flat) Row 1 (RS): K1, * p1, k1 tbl; rep from * to last 2 sts, p1, k1.
