For the little chaos-maker in your life!

New to cables? Want to do a fantastic, all-over cable pattern but feel intimidated by following a complicated chart? This baby’s pullover has a striking, all-over cable pattern with no chart at all. Instead, this sweater is covered in a chaotic, random cable pattern generated by rolling a die -- great fun for a little (or big) helper!
“This sweater has a loose fit to allow for easy movement, but has a ribbed waist and cuffs to keep baby warm, plus buttons at the shoulder to allow for easy dressing. Chaos is knit in Tivoli Woolbend 400, a durable, washable blend of acrylic and wool. I chose a sophisticated, dirt-hiding shade of charcoal heather, though many other shades are available”
