The Cookie Baker Sweater is a knitting pattern for a festive children's sweater with gingerbread cookies along the yoke.
The stranded colorwork features gingerbread men and pine trees across the shoulders, while the rest of the garment is knitted in one color to make the sweater easier to put on for the kids.
The sweater is knitted top down, and the pattern is written in full sentence and without abbreviations to make the knitting experience smooth for new as well as experienced knitters.
There are long floats in the colorwork, so being comfortable with catching floats will be a benefit when knitting this pattern.
