PATTERN INFORMATION

This children’s sweater is knitted bottom up in the flat.

It’s a boxy fit, therefore, no decreases are to be made for the armholes.

Both front and back are worked separately, then sewn together at the shoulders to pick stitches up for the sleeves, which have a balloon shape, with a long cuff in 2x2 ribbing.

While it is a simple shape and construction, it requires a bit of expertise on cables, intarsia and stranded colorwork, as these techniques are combined at the front of the body.

The back is split in two different colours and a simple intarsia has to be worked in the middle.

Due to its techniques, the pattern is recommended for confident beginner to intermediate knitters.
