Construction Notes

This adorable unicorn sweater is constructed flat in various parts, allowing you to focus on each section individually:

• Start by working the plain back of the sweater from the bottom up, ensuring a solid foundation for your design.
• Next, work on the front piece, incorporating the captivating unicorn pattern using the intarsia technique, also from the bottom up.
• After the front and back are completed, it's time to work on the sleeves. First, sew the front and back shoulder seams to create a sturdy fit. Then, pick up stitches along the armholes and knit the sleeves top down to your desired length.
• To finish off the sweater beautifully, knit the collar in a 1x1 rib pattern, picking up stitches from both the front and back of the sweater.
• Finally, sew any remaining seams and weave in those pesky loose threads for a polished look.
