Embroidery and yarn package: Tractor Finn (Blue)

In the yarn package you get both the pattern, embroidery yarn, water-soluble non-woven fabric and all the yarn you need for the size you want – as long as you stick to the stated measurements and knitting tension. Everything has been carefully arranged to make it easy and fun to get started! Traktor Finn is a tough and playful sweater that is just as nice for girls as it is for boys. It is easy to knit and is knitted from the bottom up. The body is knitted in stocking stitch while the sleeves have a nice garter stitch pattern. The sweater is knitted in Smart which contains 100% wool.

About the embroidery:

The embroidery of Traktor Finn is easy to embroider. Only one type of stitch is used, the backstitch. We first embroider the outline around the figures, then we fill in the inside with colors (fill stitches). The fill stitches should be as dense as possible to avoid the background color showing through. They can be advantageously overlapped. It is nice to vary the length of these stitches. NB! The expression will be most beautiful if you let the stitches follow the curves of the figures.
