Otto Sweater Baby

The Otto Sweater Baby is knitted from the top down in a striped pattern. First, the back is knitted, and then the shoulder sections are knitted separately back and forth on a circular needle. These are then joined at the front to continue with the front piece. The front piece and back are then joined to continue with the body, which is knitted in the round on the circular needle. The sleeves are knitted from stitches picked up along the armhole. Finally, the double-folded neckline is knitted from picked-up stitches.
