The Cheetah - Pattern

The Cheetah is a tough sweater with an embroidery of a cheetah on the stomach. It is a sweater with raglan binding, which is knitted from the bottom up. The sweater is knitted with a yarn Arwetta together with a yarn Tilia from Filcolana.

About the embroidery:

The pattern includes a drawing for the border of the Leopard.

Only one type of stitch is used, simple backstitches. We first embroider the outline around the shapes, then we fill in the inside with colors (fill stitches).

The fill stitches should be as close as possible to avoid the background color showing through. They can be overlapped to your advantage.

It's nice to vary the length of these stitches.

NB! The look will be most beautiful if you let the stitches follow the curves of the shapes.

It is up to you whether you want to buy the embroidery thread we have used, or whether you want to use leftover yarn that you already have. NB! Remember that if you use leftover yarn, you must be sure that the yarn you embroider with is made of the same material as the yarn you knit the vest with. We therefore recommend embroidering a little on a sample patch and test washing it, if you are unsure about the yarn choice. Different quality of yarn can cause the garment to be damaged in the wash.
