Boys CAN wear pink, and look good doing it! I have ingrained this upon my boys and will continue to do so as they get older. Putting a tie on a pink sweater is a great way to design a knit garment that leaves no doubts about for which gender it was intended.

Sweater is worked in the round from the bottom up. Sleeves are also knit in the round and joined seamlessly during the knit; options are included for both short and long sleeve. Garment is designed to be fitted, if you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up. Tie is worked back and forth as an embellishment and stitched onto sweater once knitting is complete. Shown in long sleeves size 18 months & short sleeves size 2.
