The Little Dude is a mini version of the The Knitter's Dude both from Andrea Rangel, designed to be fun to knit with sweet knitterly details. It’s worked entirely in the round so that the stranded color work never has to be worked on the wrong side, and finishing doesn’t require any seaming. A non-superwash wool yarn is recommended for best results with cutting the steek. The sizing goes all the way from newborn to age 12, so all your little Dudes and Dudettes are covered!
