THIS IS A KNITTING PATTERN. NOT A PHYSICAL PRODUCT.

Pattern available in english, deutsch, français, korean 한국어.

The little critters might look like squirrels, but they are actually siksiks! Siksik, also known as arctic ground squirrels are native to the arctic where I call home. They hibernate over winter and we only see them in summer, if we are lucky!

Siksik is a matching project for siksik socks. Accessory kits are available here.

This boxy top-down jumper is knitted in the round and features a seamless construction and stranded yoke. It comes in ten adult sizes with customization options for body length and sleeve length. There are neck and chest short rows.
