Ewok Sweaters

Ewok sweaters:

Supplies:

US 2 needles
Sock yarn
4 stitch markers
Closures (snaps, Velcro, etc.)
Darning needle
Ewoks

Notes:
In a mix bag of Star Wars Ewoks that was purchased from a flea market I noticed there were 3 varieties.  The sweaters are generally the same for all three, but changes may be needed depending on the neck, body or arm length. Patterns have not been thoroughly tested. Ewok 2 I will be making more than once so I will update if I find anything major.

Ewok 1 (1985 Lumat)-

CO 16

K1 x P1 rib for 6 rows
                Work stitches as they appear on the wrong sides.

Work the 6th row of rib- Raglan set up K3, pm, K3 pm, K4, pm, K3, pm, K3

Start increases by knitting 1 stitch before maker, KFB, sl m, KFB, repeat to the end. (24 sts)
