Knitting pattern Little dog sledder by Linka Neumann. Collaboration with Femunløpet World Championship 2025

Hello dear knitters and dog-loving children!

I have been honored to create a collection for the Femundløpet in connection with the World Dog Sledding Championships 2025! This collection contains sweaters and small knitwear. I hope you like the collection and that the garments will keep the child you knit for warm for a long time. In the pattern you can choose what kind of sled dog you want to wear on the sweater. Enjoy knitting!

Greetings Linka Neumann @linka.neumann

(De fleste strikker strammere på mønster enn de gjør når de strikker ensfarget glattstrikk. Jeg har derfor lagt inn i oppskriften at du skal gå opp en halv pinnestørrelse når du strikker mønster. Strikkefasthet varierer fra person til person så strikk alltid en prøvelapp før du begynner.)
