Free pattern for a simple 12-month-old sweater with long sleeves. The sleeves have stripes, the front and back are knitted and then an elephant pattern is duplicate-stitched on the front.

The pattern is easy to convert to your own gauge, as I have included measurements in inches for each pattern piece. I have also included instructions for how to convert to your own gauge.

The elephant pattern was drawn using the Grid Designer online drawing tool. See the Grid Designer at http://www.freese-works.com. You can open the elephant pattern and make your own changes to it. It is printable from the Grid Designer.

You can also design your own pattern to add to the front of the sweater.

It uses Bernat Softee Baby yarn in white and blue jeans with small amounts of grass green and pale blue.
