I couldn’t resist whipping up a shop sample from one of the latest Pom Pom publications - Mini Pom!

Knit up in our super soft wool yarn alternative, Benjamim, the Mini Kordy sweater was a delight to knit and one the kids are sure to love.

And, if you’re keen to try a bigger version, a Kordy sweater adult edition is also available. Find it HERE.

Enjoy!

DESIGN

Mini Kordy, a design by Kiyomi Burgin and Sachiko Burgin, was first published in Mini Pom, November 2022.

Benjamim is just so soft! Yes it is micro-fibre, but when next to skin softness is a must it’s definitely a yarn to consider.
On knitting with Benjamim, the experience was really similar to any good quality superfine wool yarn.
I didn’t veer to far from the designers suggested colour palette, but if you need some colour inspiration definitely have a look at the projects on Ravelry.
I knit a size 4, requiring two balls of the main colour and one ball each of the contrast colours.

The sweater is knit in the round on circular needles. Given the small circumference I used both double-pointed needles and circular needles to complete the project.
Throughout the two-colour colourwork sections I held one yarn in each hand, catching any long floats (floats longer than 3 stitches) behind the work.
There were a couple of rows requiring three colours. I kept it simple working only two colours across the row and slipping the stitch that required the third colour. I then worked the row again, slipping the previously worked stitches and knitting the third-colour stitches.
