PATTERN NOTES
The sweaters are knit seamlessly from the top down using raglan shaping. Color C is held together with colors A or B, as one strand throughout. After sleeve stitches have been separated, the body is worked in the round in stockinette stitch to the hem. The sleeves are worked in the round.

The hats are knit seamlessly, in the round, from the bottom up. Mini pom poms are created using a fork and attached to the top.
