sorry to say the same thing but goggle.com put need free instructions for duplicate stitching. I also think they may have them on Annies Attic for free too - like a video or something.

(Since it is my first sweater, I didn't want to start off with a difficult pattern with lots of colors to deal with, but now I see that it will be very plain when completed.) Is there a way to embroider an object (car, train or boat) onto a completed sweater? What is duplicate stitching?
Duplicate stitching is also known as swiss darning and is a great way to add a small motif to a plain piece of knitting, also for little details on picture sweaters done using intarsia. All you do is embroider a pattern using a darning needle by tracing the route of the original stitches. There's quite a good set of instructions here:Suesea said:I am in the process of knitting my first sweater for my 1 year old grandson. It is a stockinette stitch in one color, fisherman off white.

A plain design, but it looks really cool with those great buttons and I like the collar.ladypurl said:I used buttons to brighten up this sweater...I found it free on Ravely.
