The Childhood Hills Sweater is an ode to the child within us and the simple joy of early creativity. Inspired by the way we first draw landscapes—with bold, pointed hills rising in sharp “V” shapes—this design translates those playful, graphic marks into rich knitted texture.

Notions:
You’ll need a US Size 2.5 (3 mm) circular needle and a US Size 4 (3.5 mm) circular needle, both 40” (100 cm) long for knitting in the round.

Sizes:
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9

Gauge:
24 sts & 30 rows = 4” / 10 cm in stockinette stitch using a 3.5 mm needle.

Other Information:
* Construction: Top-down circular knitting with back-neck shaping.

  • Sizes: 1 through 9 (80 cm to 133 cm bust circumference).
